You can search for "AOD behind 460" to pull up several google results to see the adapters used to mate one. The other problem with going to a AOD is the amount of upgrades you will need to perform to handle the added TQ. Broader Performance is the only place I know of who has the jig to mill off the bell housing. They are also the retailer that I would use to purchase the parts to rebuild the C6. They sell a wide ratio kit which would allow you to add a lower gear set for better MPG without sacrificing take off.
