I was wondering if anyone has ever clutched a C6. IF so being that the 67 lincoln c6 suposedly has a different bellhousing than the more common ford c6 would this still be possible with the lincoln c6?

By clutch, do you mean a manual clutch rather than a torque convertor? And why would you want to do this?

Yeah, I mean a conventional clutch, and pressure plate. I have never owned one, or seen one in action, but from what I have heard the results are awsome.Basically you have all the advantages of a 4 spd plus the advantage of no missed gears. I'm not sure how much the kit costs or wheather or not it will work with the 462 bolt pattern or the 462 c6. I'm not sure wheather or not this would be good for a 6600lb Lincoln, but as strong as all the drive components, and chassis are stock I bet it would make for one Hot Rod Lincoln.

This setup was popular in the early sixties (drag racing) as automatic tranmission technology was not as developed as it is today with things like different speed stall convertors, shift kits and trans brakes.

To modify any transmission type, you would have to machine a special input shaft and modify the convertor housing for a equalizer fork just to start.

The 462 C6 main case (convertor housing is unique to the 462).

You would be better served by either pumping up the Twin-Turbo (LINC), Merc-O-Matic or adapt a C6 to an early 430.

CORRECTION-

I see your application is a 1967 462 C6. You are halfway home. You can upgrade the C6 and it is dual range which means it will shift automatically or you can shift it manually.
