Question C6 questions.

are all C6 trannys the same internaly? The reason i ask is,I have a 74 C6 with 4x4 with a FE bolt pattern that is very shot.I also have a 78 4x4 with the 351 bolt pattern that has less than 3000 miles on it. What i want to do is have the cases swaped.

I don't know if they are all the same but I took my C6 from my 75 4X4 that had a 360 I had changed to a 460 and swapped all the guts with a 77 car LTD C6 that had a 400, Same as a 460 bolt pattern and it worked great. All I knoticed was the center shafts were different length.

for that application, you should be fine. a $40 gasket set and a case of typeF and you are set.

Lincoln/T-bird/F-500 have differences, but useable, shouldnt be an issue for you.

the 78 may have a different shifter detent spring assy, you should be able to use your 74 valve body if you clean it out if that is the case.

There are variations in the number of clutches and the number of planetary gears at a minimum. The heavier the original application the heavier the tranny. Duh!
