Had some time with mount pinning here:

I like it, maybe some smaller clear stickers for windows?

^^^ Thanks for all the information guys! I'd give it a go on the self rebuild but I don't even have a driveway at the moment, garage is "apart" and my tools have been stored away for 4 months now. My home is.. "tore up". I'll either need to take the Lane somewhere to have the c6 dropped and rebuilt. -or- I'll buy a replacement from an outfit like Broader pay someone to R&R it. Frustrating as I know I'm going to pay a lot more out of pocket.. but really have no choice right now. My home remodel is not projected to end until August and I'm not missing the summer driving season... I'll need it to save my sanity. 

Question on the Broader C6 here: http://www.broaderperformance.com/ford-c6-/24-700-horsepower-street-strip.html. Is the tranny shown just a stock photo? The bell housing looks wildly different than the unit in my 67 Fairlane. If I'm buying an off the shelf unit I'd prefer it to be as "bolt in" as possible due to paying someone eases labor rate for the installation.

Thanks!
Scott

Hi all, the stock C6 sitting behind my mild 390 is starting to go (odd vibration, front seal & perhaps stock torque converter going away)and I'm trying to plan ahead for future proofing when it comes out soon. The 390 I freshened up a few years ago is conservatively putting out 350hp and a hair over 400ftlp tq. When it comes out again I'll probably go aluminum heads and stroke it to one of the common (Survival, etc) kits to just over 400cid. Low compression so I can still run off pump gas. Car is a 67 Fairlane with 3.o gears out back. Just a fun cruiser that I enjoy rolling the throttle on occasionally... meaning when I can get away with it. 

Tossing the question out there, what would you do?

1) Have the current C6 rebuilt with stouter internals?
2) Replace it with one of the off the shelf C6's like TCI?
3) Other suggestions? Race built C4?

Thanks for the update! Wonder what wiped out your O2? They usually last much longer, it's just a sensor so I doubt the FI could have anything to do with it. Maybe you got the 5 oclock whistle sensor. 

I've been watching the price on the Power Adder and fuel Command Center, currently have a $100 rebate on the main unit.. very tempted.

Thanks! I have a bit of rear end work to tidy up first but this is definitely going on my "ok I'm going to pull the trigger" list. Guessing once I get it up and running I can probably sell my 750DP to offset some of the cost. Keep hitting the thread with updates when time allows!

^^^ What he said! I've been following the thread as well as one of these setups should be a snap on my mild 390. I get damn near 15 inches of vac. Probably have a harder time getting the electric fuel pump installed. ;p
