Unless you want to go the manual route, only the AOD auto trannie will fit your 351 when it comes to overdrive, and unfortunately AOD's are not known for their reliability behind anything making much power.
You can yank a C6 from any 240, 300, 302, or 351W but not 351M or C. I think the clutch band material changed in the late seventies, cause my '74 C6 used Type F fluid and my '89 C6 uses Mercon. I don't think that the change affected reliability at all. C6's are almost bullet proof anyway.
