1964-1966 Mustang In-Line Six V8 Swap
|
The only other major concern was the difference in throttle linkages.The six-cylinder part is much longer and must travel down the right sideof the engine to reach the carburetor. The shorter linkage (shown here)will service the V-8 engine in the original factory manner, except thekick-down mechanism used on the C-4 transmission won't be needed here.The new AOD transmission functions, including downshifts, will begoverned by throttle position with the information transmitted to thetransmission by cable. Hence, we may remove the kick-down arm from thethrottle linkage for a clean installation. Check with us next time whenour engine and transmission arrive. We'll be in good shape for our powertrain installation. One more thing to keep in mind is the use of the AODtransmission will require a slightly shorter driveshaft. Rather thanshorten a 40-year-old driveshaft, we'll opt for a new unit to go alongwith the more powerful engine. View Related Article
