Once the engine/trans is in the correct place carefully measure the distance from the end of the transmisson output shaft to the pinion yoke.
A quaified machine shop will be able to do the rest according to these measurements. Not a problem for them, this is a common every day procedure for them.

I believe they are both 4 speed auto but one is heavier duty. The six of course. You want a AOD It is a four speed with over drive. My is out of a Mark.
I know they had some trouble with the c4 in the ford vans, but I haven't heard of any trouble with the c6. I am a cruiser and not a rodder so I want the od. (Not that I wouldn't spin the tires a little now and again)
