I am rebuilding a older c6 and am putting it back together. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHERE THE REVERSE DRUM AND PLANETARY GEAR ARE GO TOGETHER. I DID MY OTHER ONE BUT DON'T REMEMBER A THRUST WASHER TOP AND BOTTOM OF PLANETARY GEAR , IF I PUT ONE ON BOTTOM MY LOCK RING WONT FIT BUT IF I LEAVE THE BOTTOM OUT IT FITS FINE. I'VE CHECKED MY BOOK AND IT SAYS TOP AND BOTTOM ANY IDEAS? THANKS

 

You would be better off asking over at a F-150 forum, the C6 was used mostly behind V8s so Rangers or BII never had them

 

Well just to let you know this C6 is in a ranger behind a bb.

 

Yes, I figured a V8 swap just saying Ranger never had the C6 stock so better info might be available at sites that did know the C6

 

The thing being IS... it is not a stock or a replacement transmission for an OEM Ranger and usually you don't find them behind a 5.0L swap... so as Ron D has stated,

"You would be better off asking over at a F-150 forum, the C6 was used mostly behind V8s so Rangers or BII never had them" !

Good Luck on your quest for information !

 

Sorry bout the lack of info. been meaning to put pics and more info on here ,but haveing to make everything takes alot of my time., fender well headers engine mounts trans mount overhaulin the trans re-wiring everything. If you can think of it I'm doin it . lol

 

Which engine are you using ?

Why did you decide to go BB ?

Sounds like an interesting rig !

Well I've had this 351c I rebuilt about a yr ago, it's been on a stand so y not put it in something. Found this 92ranger xlt cheep engine and trans were bad, why not.had a couple c6's too most of the ford stuff is from my 85 f 150 2wd I put a 460 with a c6 behind it thats been several yrs.

 

got it

 

The 351C,

If you can keep it cool it is a great engine.

It put one in a '68 Stang, pulled pretty good.

So what is in the Ranger, the 351C or the 460 ?

If you have the 351C and a good radiator, that engine would be nice in a Ranger, a big engine, with the heads, but considered a small block engine by Ford.
You might even get away with minor suspension work.

The 460... well that is another story, that is just a BIG, BIG TRUCK ENGINE, and this will take a lot of rework to the chassis, suspension, parts !
Probably more work than putting in a 4.6L or a 5.4L.

What are you going to do with it once completed ?

It's the 351c it takes a bb trans like the 460 thats what the trans is off of and i used for mok-up. also have a 351m and a 400 and a 302 .the 351c is a bb the 351w is a small block.

 

Funny it probably isn't a 351 C, Ford in it infinite wisdom, make some 351 M's, they were more truck motors than performance Motors, and YES there is always the 351W... that was in everything... !
The "M" version used the BB Bell housing and the "C / W" used the small block bell housing; actually the "W" isn't the same motor series.

As you said the 351M/360/400 all took the BB Bell Housing, the 351C/351W/302W/5.0L//// took the small block Bell Housing, I think the Heads on a 351M were the Cleveland Style but the 2V heads.

Check your serial numbers... just to be sure; I would like to know for sure myself.

If you get the serial number, post it or PM me, I would like to look it up, it would be interesting to see if Ford made a 351C with a BB Bell Housing.

I am not trying to put a damper on your project, please don't think that, just interested in what the "F" Ford did !
