What transmission bolts up to a 351 Cleveland?
The 351W and 351C use the small block bellhousing bolt pattern. The 351M and 400 use the big block bolt pattern. The C4 auto trans, which has a separate bell, can be used, but you’ll probably have to go with an aftermarket bell for the big block pattern.
What does a C4 transmission fit?

Will a T5 bolt to a 351w?
Chuck, a T5 with the stock bellhousing will bolt right up. It might actually last longer than you think because you are moving 1,000lbs less weight. I have a T5 with the world class parts. I was running it in a ’92 coupe for quite a while with a 351 making 400rwhp.
How much HP can a stock C4 handle?
a properly built C4 can handle as much as 800hp, though i wouldnt put that much power through one on a regular basis unless i had a strict maintenance program, including freshening up the trans at least once during the race season.
Can a 351C bolt be used on a C4 transmission?
The C4 is a lighter trans, so if the above isn’t an issue than it will work fine and even save a little on gas. Either way you go, make sure you get a driveshaft that fits that combination. Yeh i believe you need a 302 type bellhousing.
Is there an automatic transmission for a Ford 351C?
And most recently shifting from 1st to 2nd is slipping real badly. So I think that it is time to either rebuild this current transmission, OR what I would like to do is try to find a compatible automatic transmission that would bolt up to my 351C…
Is the C4 transmission weaker than the C6?
However, one thing to remember is if you build up the engine much or plan on racing the stock C4 is a weaker transmission than a C6. Course, some here may argue that point, but Ford didn’t use the C4 with the clevelands or any larger engines to the best of my knowledge.
When did the Ford C4 automatic transmission come out?
Literally millions of Ford cars and trucks were equipped with C4 and C6 automatic transmissions between the introduction of the C4 in 1964 and the replacement of the C6 in the 1980s.

What’s the difference between case-fill and Pan-fill C4 transmissions?
The pan-fill C4 really is more about strength for heavy-duty applications like full-size cars and trucks than anything else because the bellhousing bolts to the case outside the pump housing. Case-fill C4 transmissions are light-duty; the bellhousing bolts to the front pump instead of the main case.
