The transmission will have to be replaced due to the different bolt pattern and I'm sure the engine mounts will have to be tinkered with but maybe not. I have never done this swap.

A buddy of mine did this swap in his '74. The mounts will work fine but the bolt pattern on the tranny case don't line up. A new bellhousing should work fine.

'75 3/4 ton hi-boy. 360/2bbl. dana60/HD44(4.10 gears)

The C6 doesn't have a bellhousing per se. The whole tranny case is one piece so he will have to get a new tranny. The pilot shaft is a different size also.

I am doing the same thing for my '67 Ranger 250 Camper Special. Couldn't turn down the deal I got on a fresh, healthy 460. When you get a trans for the 385 series, get the yoke with it. It is my understanding that the yoke is a slip, instead of a mount plate like the FE C6's. I have also been told that this pattern is the same as the 351M-400, so you can take one out of almost any late 70's truck. I didn't know about the mounts, if you find out something, let me know.
THX, Roger
