We bought a used C4, that has supossedly been rebuilt recently. We have seen several post mentioning the bellhousing on the II's is different from others.
So when we switch the bellhousings, is there anything else that is exclusive to the II's, that we need to switch over?

Also, the person we bought it from was not sure of the year, but said he thinks it came out of a Maverick, it was definately on a 302, because it was still on the engine when we got there. There is a VIN tag on it though, but we don't know how to decipher the tag. I'm mentioning this because, we want to put all new seals in it before it goes in the car, and of course get a trans. filter, so are all C4's the same, since we don't know for sure what to tell the parts house.

We will be dropping the old one this weekend, but not putting the new one in just yet. While it's out we'll be cleaning the underside of the car, and painting.
Thanks

I think the length of the bolts on MII bell to block are shorter.

doesn't the II's tranny pan differ from regular C4's ?? I was thinking that the filter at least allows for a deeper pan, or something like that. I could be wrong though. Anybody else got input on that. But if you're pulling the tranny out of something else it shouldn't much matter anyway.
