I want to swap a 460 motor with a 351m. Will the 351m bolt up to the C6 transmission and will I have to change the flywheel and torque converter?

Yes the 351M will bolt up to the C6. You'll need to get a flexplate for the 351M. The torque convertor should be fine.

 

why would you want to change a 460 to a 351 i took my 351 out and rolled it off a high clift them 351m are junk

 

find someone with a 351m in there truck that wants the 460 and get them to swap you all the accessory mounts, motor mounts exhaust manifolds, etc. but I gotta agree with Ron Why? you are not going to improve your fuel economy at all, about all your gonna accomplish is greatly reduce your power, which is fine if the reason is so you can give the truck to your 16yr old kid but I really can't think of any reason someone would do that swap.
