Can you put a C5 out of the 83-85 rangers behind a v8 without any mods?
I know everyone says that you are supposed to switch out the valve body. I understand the torque converter, flywheel and bellhousing but why the valve body? Are they not the same? I thought the main differnces between the C4 and C5 were the torque converters.
So basically I have a C5 from a 4 wheel drive Ranger and want to put it behind a 5.0. Wont this work without any interior mods? As I am sure there were 5.0 or 302 cars with the same trans just different tail extensions.
