ok, the easiest and fast way is to see the Oil Pan, if you can get a picture of the trans oil pan, we can tell you what it is.

There is one more Trans , ( FMX ) I have installed alot of them from cars that they were already

behide the 351 W ,they are good trannys ! Some may not agree . Its been a while since I've have had one,or installed one.


P.S. one other way to spot the ( C6 ) is ( There are a bolt on small side cover that has a Peace Sign )
