Post Best C6

I had my C-6 for my FE built up for my 360 in my 1970 F-100. It was rebuilt 10 years ago and still smokes them up

I had the same guy build up my C-6 that is behind my 460 (400+ hp) powered Bronco.

He used a TransGo "tow-truck" C-6 kit, with heavy duty everything! He also installed the AOD 1st/2nd planetary gear set, giving you a 2.73 1st and a 1.54 2nd. I would also recommend getting a TCI Truckmaster torque converter.
