C6 casing differences

Hopefully this will be OK in this forum. I've got a C6 bolted to a 460. I've got a tranny I pulled that was attached to a 360 that has the C6 bolt pattern and has the vacuum modulator in the same place as the 460 C6. I understand that the bellhousing sizes will be somethat different, but the overall casing on the 360 tranny is quite a bit smaller than that of the 460 C6. Am I correct in assuming that this is stilll a C6, and that the FE C6s were simply smaller than the 385 C6s?

The C6 's should be the same size except where the bellhousing bolts up to the diff motors. Mabey the other tranny you have is a c4 or a baby C6. Are the pans the same?

The pans appear to be the same: straight sides, with a notch out of the right rear corner. I didn't happen to count the bolts, however.

How much smaller is the 360 tranny than the 460 I have them both also and they look to be the same to the eye.

ric, The bell of the 460 C6 is quite a bit larger (taller), but about 5" back they should start looking identical.
