Crown Vic P71 20 #1 Posted January 23, 2015 Not sure if this is in the right topic area, but would I be able to swap out a hyro in my C125 for an 8 speed tranny? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scotty 252 #4 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Well i dont see how much of an obstacle it would be seeing as there we c125 gear drives. I did one in my GT-14 and that was a lot harder due to the fact that them were never designed for hydros. Im sure its possible and it shouldnt be very hard. I see that they have the eaton 1100 those are a good hydro if it wasn't abused. A good working hydro is alright to me.

bmsgaffer 2,053 #5 Posted January 23, 2015 It would be easier and cheaper to find a black hood that already has the 8-speed in it. (Because you will need a whole parts tractor to make sure you have all the parts you need) If you are planning on doing a full frame off restore then a swap is a little easier since you already plan on having it torn down to the frame, but you will still need a parts tractor. And if you go so far as to get a decent parts tractor with a bad engine, then its easier to swap the engine into the 8 speed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crown Vic P71 20 #7 Posted January 23, 2015 Alright, thanks for your input everyone. I've just had problem after problem with the hydro system and was just curious what a conversion would take. Just thinking out loud so to speak. I'll probably end up keeping the hydro in it and try to fix all the issues first. I guess you could say I was putting the garden cart in front of the horse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
