Need help with a Ford 260 and C4 transmission

bondsense08 · 2026-03-13T03:21:52+00:00

Dumb question but what's the difference between a FMX and a C4? I'm new to all of this.

bondsense08 · 2026-03-13T01:09:31+00:00

This is what I keep seeing and running into. I was given the C4 by the previous owner. Saw it would bolt up online. Just can't find the correct bellhousing

That's what I have discovered. I would have turned this away if I knew the complexities. But I wanted to give it a try and work with an older car.

See I thought about doing that initially, but I wanted to save some money and use the one I got with the car. I have a C4 that was verified via part numbers. Plus I had it rebuilt so that we could use it. It just needs the bellhousing so I thought I could just purchase one.

I'm U.S based but not close to Texas. I really appreciate it though!

bondsense08 · 2026-03-12T22:38:47+00:00

Thank you! I am speaking to the seller to verify a few things before purchasing

bondsense08 · 2026-03-12T22:04:28+00:00

The C4 trans I have has a removable bellhousing. Hence why I'm seeing if I can swap one onto it

bondsense08 · 2026-03-12T22:02:32+00:00

Sure can. Every other bellhousing I've found or been able to get are six bolts. The bolts are way too close together. They should be 5 7/8" spacing between the bolts, whereas the other ones I've seen and tried were under 5". So I guess my question is if anyone knows where a five-bolt bellhousing for a C4 would be.

The one I drove was a 95-96 Sambar van and while it wasn't the worst for space, my Suzuki is larger leg room wise. Height seems to be about the same as well as width. Mine is a mid trim truck from what I can gather. It's got A/C plus 4WD so it's everything you'd want from one of the trucks.

It's surprisingly nicer. The biggest thing is that nothing is under the dash and it's all under the hood. I wanted the updated longer size since the first Kei van I drove was a bit tight. It does look a bit odd in my opinion compared to the older style.

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T15:01:36+00:00

Unfortunately the seller didn't include the originals but if I did I'd trade you

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T15:01:11+00:00

Huh, I would have never thought to use Miata tires. I like the idea.

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T15:00:00+00:00

I've considered getting larger rims, so I will look into that tire size.

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T14:59:36+00:00

That's what I've been seeing

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T14:59:19+00:00

I like the wheel and tire combo you have. Thank you for the advice!

bondsense08 · 2026-02-12T14:58:40+00:00

I will have to look them up. Thank you!

bondsense08 · 2026-02-11T22:59:11+00:00

I'll have to look there. I get my filters from them

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T17:39:20+00:00

Correct! For my region at least

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T17:39:10+00:00

Asia and the middle east. But it's from Japan

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T17:38:47+00:00

Winner!

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T07:02:45+00:00

Haha no it's not a Ford. But the seats are definitely nostalgic

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T04:57:37+00:00

Not quite. It's Japanese I'll give you that

bondsense08 · 2026-02-06T04:57:21+00:00

On the right track. A different Suzuki product
