Trans swap

Do a search on trans bolt pattern I.D's and you may find what you're looking for. I saw it several yrs ago on FTE just not sure what heading/forum I was in at the time.
I was told once that my 351M/400 has the same bolt pattern as the 7.3 diesel, I just want to verify the info for sure B-4 buying one and am thinking of a swap to an O.D. and get rid of my granny trans.

351m/400 bell is the same as the 385 series-429/460. (one exception in '73 where some 400s had SBF patterns)

If you need a trans for a 460, look for a 460 donor.

Looking for a C6, right?
