Help settle a debate.

This guy at work swears up and down that he has a C6 that is bolted to a 302. He says that "it is a small C6". It is my understanding that the C6 only fits the "big" blocks. Is he be correct?

The C6 trans comes in 3 bellhousing sizes, small block V8 and I6, big block V8, and the Diesel bellhousing. So yes he has a C6 behind his 302.

my grandpa worked in sharronville where they made the C6 and we also had a 1988 F150 with a 351 and a C6. the C6 is used in alot of high performance applications. alot of drag cars use them as well. it was a tough trans.

Yeah the diesel and 460 use the same bell pattern but the trannys use different starter mounting for the diesel, so I am told. I have a C6 behind my 351W/5.8L too.
