The Ford C-4 trans has become very popular application in a lot of non Ford vehicles with big engines.. I know a man that uses them on a regular basis behind Buick straight eights with HP in excess of 500 HP.. Since most of the C-4's have a detachable bell housing and are small, they adapt very well. I am not to sure just what modifications are done to the C-4's to use them behind large HP engines.
The GM 200R4 is also becoming a very popular trans, w/modification, behind high output engines... The old story 'size matters' holds true.
