From C4 to a C6

Will a C6 hook up to a 302? I have a C4 now, what would I have to do to make this work?

Yes, there are SBF pattern C6s. Usually, a C4 can be made to take whatever a SBF dishes out. If you don't already have a C6 laying around, why chase that along with the complications it entails? (move cross member, shorten driveshaft, possibly other issues)

Plus, the C6 eats a bit more power than the C4.

So what gives, what's the issue, what problem are you trying to solve?

I wasn't sure of all the issues that would come along with switching to a C6.

The issue is lack of funds. I am trying to do what I can to get my truck going. Its not my daily driver, but I would like to drive it on minimal cost. I have a "good" C4 that came with the truck but the tail shaft section doesn't jive with what I had in the truck to begin with. I will for sure have pics tommorow. Then you will see what I am racking my tiny brain over.

Swapping or selling the wrong tailed unit and getting a correct C4 would be the least $$$ methinks.....
