Question 302...c4 or c6

It is my understanding that the 302 goes with the c4 tranny not the c6,
is this correct?

Not always. There are some C6's with the small-block bellhousing (as seen on a 302) and some C4's with the big-block bellhousing (as seen on a 385 series). A big-block C4 is very rare, but they do exist. A small-block C6 is more common, but far less common than a big-block C6. Because it's possible to find a small-block C6 bolted to a 302, it's best to check the pan to be safe.

You can tell by the shape of the pan, and the number of bolts. Here's a website with pictures:

Mercury Cougar FMX, C4 or C6??
