Engine Building Part 2 – Power Principles
Block Options and Machining Techniques
The “gearhead” aftermarket gets a great deal of its business from the DIY crowd. Lots of guys (and girls) spend a lot of their hard earned money and a lot of their free time tinkering on a favorite car or truck. Many members of that same crowd entertain the thought of building their own engines at some point.

Ford C6 Transmission Upgrades – Built Tough
CK Transmissions upgrades a C6 three-speed with modern amenities
In 1966, Ford introduced a beefy three-speed automatic transmission that was stuffed into anything that required a strong transmission including trucks, high-performance Mustangs, and sedans. The Ford C6 transmission would go on to enjoy a 30-year service life as Ford phased it out in 1996 to make room for overdrive versions of its big transmission line-up. Today, the C6 is still the go-to Blue Oval piece when you are looking to harness big horsepower. Credit the beefy guts and many aftermarket upgrades for the tough label.

What a Good Driveshaft Should Be
Like Rodney Dangerfield, a driveshaft gets no respect. Or even much thought, for that matter. Until we exceed its design limits, that is, at which point the extreme importance of this delicately balanced, high-revving power transmitter comes suddenly, and sometimes frighteningly, to the forefront. Consider this: the factory driveshaft under your vintage Ford was engineered to withstand the rigors of OEM power levels, traction limits, and speed/rpm capabilities for many years, which it likely has. But we’d never go broke by betting that all those factory power, grip, and speed parameters have long since been exceeded in most of our readers’ rides, ’cause we don’t call this Modified Mustangs & Fords for nothing.
