Ford Automatic Transmission Help!

[MrObsessive]

Ok, you Ford guys! Down the road, I'm going to run into a roadblock regarding my '68 Shelby Green Hornet WIP. The actual car uses an automatic trans behind its fuel injected 428. The kit I'm taking the 428 out of (Revell '69 Shelby) has only a 4 spd tranny in the kit.

When I built this one back in '96, I did use an automatic trans to replicate the 1:1, but for the life of me I can't remember where it came from. Anyone out there know which kits or even resin would have a correct auto trans that was used by Ford for '68?

Thanks in advance for any help fellas! I keep looking at my old Green Hornet build of the trans that I put in-----If I can just remember what kit I swiped that from!

IIRC, the AMT '66 Fairlane has a decent C6.  I presume the '67 Cyclone too.

Excellent! I just checked my stash in the attic of my place, and I have both of those! If I'd ever build either of those kits, I'd build 'em as 4 spd's anyway, so it's all good!

Thanks Stu for jogging my memory as indeed the last Green Hornet I built, that's where the trans came from!

No love for the FMX automatic. ;-)

The Revell 64 Thunderbolt comes with a C6 automatic and a 4-speed.bellhousing setup.

That's not a C6; the C6 was introduced for the '66 model year.  The T-Bolt has the heavy duty Lincoln HX/LX large case version of the MX auto - totally different animal from the C6..

How about the auto trans in the Moebius 390 equipped Ford pickup kit?

LOL.  FMXs are heavy but fairly bulletproof. Based on the old Cruise-o-matic.  Different from a C6 in many ways.

The AMT '70s F-350 (any issue) has a fairly nice FE C6 trans.

Thanks for all of the suggestions Fellas!

I'm going to use the auto out of the AMT '67 Mercury Cyclone kit I have in my stash. The others were reasonable suggestions, but I have the Cyclone right at hand, and the plus is at least the kit came with two transmissions. I can always build the car (if the ambition ever strikes) and build it as a 4spd since IMO this is more suitable for that kind of car.
