351 C bellhousing bolt pattern
The 351C has a small block pattern, while the 351M and 400 have a big block pattern. You can mate either to a C6 tranny, if that's what you want. You have to get a C6 with a 'baby C6' case. The internals are identical, you can even interchange the cases.

Should. As said before, a 302 and 351c are the same. Make sure you use a late model flywheel with that late model 302. It has a different balance than 82 and earlier 302's and the old 351c's.
