Q: M4 vs M40 trans + application 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be dnthomp@gte.net on  Mon Mar 5 19:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I understand the M4, 4S transmission is seen in use with B-16 applications. But I am not well educated as to the difference between the M4 and M40. Could someone enlighten me?? And in what cars could a person place a M4? Indeed, is there any reason to use the M4, except for originality?? Lastly, if you had a good M4, what is the best use for it?? Thanks, Dennis

The major external difference is the mounting bolt pattern. That's also the main reason for using one. They aren't interchangeable.

You could use it behind a B-4, B-14 or B-16 motor in a 444,445 or early 544. The best use would be to put it behind one of those motors, in one of those cars.
