Will the transmission need replaced if he changes the motor?

My dad has a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. Right now it has a 351W motor. He wants a 390 (original motor to the car). If he was to change the motor, would the transmission need replaced too? The rebuilt transmission has less then 20k miles on it since it was rebuilt.

Yes, he would need a round bellhousing C6. An alternative would be to use an adapter and use an AOD, putting an Overdrive behind that FE engine.

Yes.

  • Is it normal to feel the shift changes in 4 cylinder 2012 ford focus? I just bought a 2012 ford focus which was certified pre owned. I also got it inspected my Meineke before I purchased it. The Carfax has regular maintenance and its very clean. ONLY thing is when I accelerate from a stop, I can feel the change of the gears shifting. It a few seconds of gears changing. I'm used to a v6 engine and that is all I have ever driven. It was always smooth and quick to get up to a high speed. Is this problem normal for a 4 cylinder or what?
