They are built by Ford. Roush has nothing to do with them this time around. You had to order them through a Ford Dealer & pay Ford Motor Company. PB Candies

OK, I'm a died in the wool Ford guy, and bleed blue when cut, but a "C2" transmission...????? That transmission being attached to the engine is a Powerglide if I ever saw one!

I wonder, if Ford has adopted the 'glide as its own, and designated it a C2, can it now be used in older stockers and super stockers? Interesting development.

The CJ's are all engineered by Ford Racing employees and built on a niche assembly line at the Auto Alliance Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The workers are hand picked UAW Mustang line workers. Watson Engineering does the roll cage and body reinforcement points before the cars go down the plant paint line. I think in this day and age it's pretty cool that Ford can do this operation in their own assembly plant! Thank GOD for the people that are managing FOMOCO.
