I'm in Valdosta, could you tell me what to look for, I have a friend that has a C6 and would give it to me, would I first have to know what it came off of? This may seem like a stupid question to you but, what does FE stand for, I've had chevy's all my life and ain't up on fords all that well. Thanks, shrike

FE stands for Ford-Edsel. This engine was designed in the late 50s and intended for those car makes. There was a variant called MEL, which stood for Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln. The FE motors are 330-352-360-390-406-427-428. Some throw the 410 in there but I think the 410 is MEL. In any case, many parts are interchangeable between the two.

I just put a new 360 and c-6 in my71 f250. The tranny shop says there 2 different trannys. Check the out-put shaft. Thats where the difference should be. Otherwise, i would think it should bolt right in. ( one tranny has an aluminum cover on the output, and the other has steel. to my understanding, this will dictate the length of the output shaft)

The quickest way to pick out a C-6 for the FE's is the Rounding bellhousing
