NOBLNG Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yes, It obviously is. And the trans is supposed to be a 4l60e I believe (square pan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The E denotes the gearbox uses electronic shift logic, rather than the earlier predominantly mechanical/hydraulic.

Oldcarfan27 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 When this kit was originally tooled in the 80s (as the orange sedan), the Chevy small block was the "go to" engine in just about every 1:1 street rod. Just as LS and 5.0s are commonplace today. Boring but true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 ^^^ Very true. And the 700R4 gearbox was the newest, trickest thing around, being a 4-speed with a lockup torque-converter overdrive feature, making it a 5-speed automatic trans in function.

Dave G. Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Be nice to see an FE Ford in there. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
