It would take about half of the flatheads available HP to just get the C6 turning!
The Flatomatic kit for the C4 is great, Ive used them on several flatties. Bentdsens has a kit that will work with many Ford automatics including the AOD. Pricey but complete and high quality. Im getting one for a Y block.
The Aussies have been adapting various ricer trannies and adapters are available here in the US I believe.
Wilcap has adaptors for the GM trannies including the 700R4 OD unit. www.wilcap.com

I Installed an 89 S-10 5-speed in my 51F1 works great. It was an easy swap and the Flathead engine seems a natural combo. Pictures and information can be seen at the link below or in my gallery.
