Tranny swap help please

I have a 71 that has had a 302 dropped in front of the C6. It lasted about 500 miles, and the C6 took a dive. After it warms up, it quits going forward (reverse is fine). Well, I have a buddy that has a C4 sitting around, and I was wondering what else I would have to replace/modify to swap to the C4. Would I need a new drive shaft? Thanks for any info.

Thanks, sorry to hear yours is going out too. It would be great if it is a direct swap. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
