The tranny year correct would be a MX C-O-M Cruse O Matic.

The FE engines are the same on the outside so yes a direct fit. The str. drv. engine has a pilot bushing/bearing in the end of the crank that has to be removed. Everything else should bolt on.

The C-O-M is a series older than the C6, that is more desirable in many peeps eyes.

Also depends on the power you're putting out. That's why the C-6 went behind the 428CJ and 427.
