re transmission HELP!

thanks for all the input...guess the zf6 is not a good idea.
here's the deal 87 f350 6.9 puked the trans (c6) on a road trip. looking for a replacement but NOT looking to spend 2k. Can anyone tell me... will a c6 for a 460 big block fit this application,as I found a rebuilt for a good price?
THANKS ALL

No a 460 bell pattern will not work, it has to be a diesel pattern. There are plenty of C6's out there, or ZF-5's if you want to stay with the manual swap. If you aren't concerned about the overdrive, there are the T-19's as well for manuals.

Diddo. 460 big block won't work.

I have a good C6 tranny for a 2wd diesel, but it would probably cost an arm and a leg to ship it to you.

the T18 gas tranny will also work ig you have the diesel bellhousing.
The last C6 I had rebuilt was around 400 bucks they are way cheaper than the aod trannys.

The T 18/T 19 is the only transmission that has a seperate bell housing though.

So it is the only transmission that will work on both a gas and a diesel with the correct bell housing.

ZF 5, ZF 6 and E4OD bell housings are part of the transmission, so they will not work.
