c6 compatibility
i have a built small block c6 and i have a c6 for a 460 that im putting in my f150. i was wondering if i can swap all the internal parts from the small block c6 to the big block c6? also the torque converters a higher stall, will that also work from a small block to big block?

I originally resued the 351W TQ Converter- it fits fine. I ran it for a year or two, but then I swapped it out for a JW Performance convertor with an anti-balloon plate (I have nitrous) and a stall speed of 2800.

Yep, only difference is the bell housing itself, the rest is common. Since you already have built up internals, no reason not to swap, just watch the clearances as you go through. Watch the clutch packs in the casing itself. Mainly, low/reverse(in the back of the case) and the intermediates(last ones in). You can get variances in how the casings were actually machined. Typically it isn't an issue, but best to be careful.

Converter
Be sure that the converter matches the counter bore in the 460. There was a change from 78 on that are externally balanced. The later 460 used a long nose converter .
The transmission shop will know which one you need.
