302 and C6

Is a C6 compatable with a 302?

In the 80's I would say yes.

302,351W


They did use C4's behind 302's up intil 1986 but I don't know exactly what application ..whether it was just cars or continued in Trucks as well.

I'm looking at a 1969 302 smb and using a 1978 C6. Apparently years are relevant.

Yes if you have a small block pattern C-6 it will work behind any 302, there are also 385 and FE series big block C-6s and they will not work. I don't think years matter I am pretty sure the C-6 did not come out untill after the 5 bolt small blocks were gone in 1964 correct me if I'm wrong and 302s weren't around till 68. You will also need to find the correct flexplate.

Sure, and Ford offered a C6/302 combo on 1978/79 F100/150's.

Before anyone says I'm full of ____ here's the reference: 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog ~ Transmission Application Chart ~ Section A70, pages 15 thru 17.

C6: C = decade = 1960's / 6 = 1966. Introduced in the fall of 1965 on the new 1966 models. (C4 = 1964)

The 302 engine was introduced in the spring of 1968.

I found a 1972 302 and the c6 is still in my 1978 F150. It was mated to a 351M.
Thanks for all the replies.
