    Yep, it sure was. The Torino for 1970 came with the 250 and a single barrel carb.

    It's the same trans. The differences in ID tags was for different tail housings, low gear ratios, synchronized or not, etc.

    The 250 was a pretty common entry level motor for mid size Fords from way back. My dad's '69 Fairlane had a 250/1 bbl. As a matter of fact, his '60 Fairlane (alias a land yacht with fins) had a 250 even back then. Barry's right...the C4 was a universal non-OD automatic along the Ford line. You saw little other transmissions until they offered OD transmissions in the passenger car line. I was surprised to find an FMX in my '79 LTD.

    IIRC, 70 1/2 was the last year for the Falcon, and it moved to the Torino midsize platform. It should have been available with a 250.
