So, I recently picked up an 85 B2 that has a carbureted 302 from an 86 T-Bird and C4 transmission hooked up to the 1350.
I came across a decent deal, that I had to pass on, for a 90 Mustang GT EFI engine with an AOD transmission and all wiring.
It would've been a spur of the moment purchase but I did a little research beforehand and found out the advance adapter I have now is incompatible, as one would expect.
From the front of the C4 to the 1350 I currently have 25.5 inches...
According to the tech articles, I should need the Advance Adapters AOD to1350 that is 5 inches long. P/N 50-8405.
I see now that particular adapter is no longer available and I'm redirected to the 9 inch long adapter. P/N 50-8404.
Is it as simple as pushing the engine further forward to maintain drive shaft lengths?
Is that possible because it doesn't look like it will be.
Why, if this swap would seem so common, would they discontinue such an important piece?
Thanks, in advance, for any info you guys can provide.
