ford c4 automatic transmission with ka24det 240sx

[jossen]

i wanted to know if anybody can answer some of my questions about putting a ford c4 automatic transmission to ka24de (planning to turbo). p.s i got a 97 240sx. I want to know its as easy as just replacing the transmission or is there anything i wude have to custom make. plus what do i need and where can i get them preferably not to expensive. also if i can bolt on the c4 transmission with the stock ka24de until i put in a turbo kit.im trying to gather up information so when im ready to do it ill do it right.

what do you want to know. post up some questions. no body can help you without knowing what you need help with

I suppose you are going to do drag then?

Kind of pointless in a 240, IMO.

i want it to be my daily driver but when i take it to the track itll be good to. im not planning to put a crazy stall converter neather a launch brake. i just want to have a strong transmission that could hold a good amount of power.i dont want stick shift imnot planning to drift and im in traffic alot is a nother reason plus with the automatic theres no delay in shifting that the manual trasmission has when shifting. ive already thought this through so i just want to know what i want need to know .thank you

This will allow you to bolt a Ford C4 transmission to your Automatic KA bell housing. This is the hardest part of this project! All of the other pieces can be fabricated relatively easy.

Most KA-Ts I've seen or read about have had the stock M/T trans.... And they're a dime a dozen too! Re-think staying automatic, there is a lot of fun lost in the auto trans.

Who uses a c4? Even the ford guys will pull them and replace them with a Turbo 400 or C6..... Anyhow Import DPS in Philly has a KA married to a TH400

Note to op: Do not go with the th400
unless the newer ones are amazing?

[OutToWinPAHC]

TH400 with a roller drum can hold well over 1250 HP with the proper converter and builder..... If you want to drag you should use a powerglide

C4.... tiny, not that strong, C6 is a better choice, but if you want a 3 speed auto or manual valvebody TH, pure drag car you need a glide.

Op died?

If you want to drag you should use a powerglide
