I would like some Information about swapping One of these for a Fordomatic. What is involved in using one of these Transmissions if I want to change mine? Not looking for a Hi-Po do over like the Article shown  under"Articles". Both have removable Bell Housings. Can You use the Fordomatic Bell Housing with a couple of Holes drilled in it to match the replacement Transmission. I know a 57+ Flexplate is required. What else is involved. I know these were used on the Y Block but my Chances of finding an exact Match is pretty Slim.I know there is a Kit to use a C-4 which still might be the way to go if an FMX/Cruisomatic is not going to work..
