Hi,

I'm not sure wether the C6 will fit onto a 302. If yes, it might be nessesary to install a other driveshaft 'cause I think that the C6 is longer as the AOD.

you will have to get a c6 for a 4x4, tailshaft is a different length. did this swap a few years ago. had to get the t case adaptor and the t case shift rod. other than that it was a straightforward swap. drive shafts are the same, crossmember fit in the origional position also. make sure the tranny or tailshaft you get is for the warner t case, not the new process.

I would rebuild or replace the aod. The C6 is not an overdrive transmission, and your truck is already geared for overdrive, you'll be very disappointed in the milage.
