But you need the correct C6 or FMX also . . one set up for a floorshift. If not you need to do some mods first.

Its just a cheap copy of the good ones. No reason to think it is any different, that would take engineering rather than just copying

It looks right, like the tools I have used, but I can't vouch for the sizing of that particular tool.

Any thoughts?

Somebody did that. Starting in 1966, Ford painted the engines after assembly, so the block, heads, intake, and yes, the valve covers, including the valve cover gaskets, would all be corporate blue.

Ford was red in '57 as well. I'm not sure about after '57.

i checked with them and grundy and you have to be 24, i may have to change the car into my dads name or something.

Even with changing the car to your Dad's name, be careful, as some of those classic policies prohibit younger drivers from operating the vehicle. You'd not only be paying the premiums, but could/would be denied coverage, if the unthinkable happened.

I'd recommend visiting with an independent, multi-line insurance agent, and see if they can shop you around to the many companies they sell, and get you the coverage you need.

My thoughts are someone must have done a real good job.
In 69, the valve covers would have been blue to match the block.

Oh, thanks for tossing me under the bus, Pal! LOL
James asked about the possibility of using the original shifter, not the entire trans. I only said it was possible.

Now, if one really wants to get technical, and spend a few bucks, the C-4 can be modified to live quite well behind an FE. They are used in high horsepower drag racing, all the time. They rob less than half the hp that a C-6 does, so you can count on about 30 more ponies making it to the rear wheels with the C-4 over the C-6. But it does take some extensive rework. Probably not cost effective in a low dollar street car application.

As to where to find an FE C-6, I'd recommend keeping an eye on craigslist, etc.

It doesn't matter who you wind up with, but in your case, the best policy is going to be a stated value policy. I was in the same position you are, I'm 25 now though.

Odd;... you may find out that it really is Turquoise once you start to clean it up.
