NOBLNG Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Does anyone know what engine this is supposed to be in this kit? I am not up on my Fords! Thanks, Greg.

NOBLNG Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 Yes, It obviously is. And the trans is supposed to be a 4l60e I believe (square pan).

And the trans is supposed to be a 4l60e I believe (square pan). 700R4, built from 1982 forward and renamed 4L60 in 1993, or 4L60E (early style, with one-piece housing, pre-1996). The E denotes the gearbox uses electronic shift logic, rather than the earlier predominantly mechanical/hydraulic. Edited February 13, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy
Oldcarfan27 Posted February 14, 2019 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!
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 14, 2019 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 Posted February 14, 2019 Be nice to see an FE Ford in there. Just my opinion.
