You could with this:

QuickTime RM-8010 - QuickTime Bellhousings - Overview - SummitRacing.com

But tranny life expectancy on a scale of 1-10 is about a minus 15.

yes that is definitely one of those just cause you can don't mean you should.

A T5 was ok behind a 5.0 until you started to modify it. A 460 starts are more torque then a modified 5.0 usually ends up with .

Use a Tremec TKO 5pd or 6spd, thats what im going to use behind my built 460, they have a torque rating of 600ft lbs and you can have overdrive gears which you will not in the C-6

it would just be a city vehicle from point a to b, heater should work good with a 460 and a small 6 cyl radiator!

I prefer overdrive and yeah living in Alaska you should be able to get away with it, I was born in Delta junction and lived there for a little while but now i reside below the mason dixon line ( thank God ) and if i tried that my truck would melt down at a traffic light
