Ok i am just going off what the guy told me. All i know for sure is it is bolted to a 460. So no matter what trans it is it will fit in my truck without changing any of my trucks lines or linkage?

Not trying to be a jerk or any thing, just make sure you know what it is, if it is a C6 it should go in just fine but if it is a 4 speed it isn't a C6 and it won't just bolt right in. I think the E4OD is the 4 speed auto used behind the 460, but it shouldn't be in an 87. The E4OD would be a pretty major swap because it is longer and computer controlled.

If it has OD then its not a C6. I didn't think they put the AOD behind the 460 and I don't think the E4OD came out till later, but I could be wrong or it could be swapped. I have only owned manuals so autos aren't exactally my strong point.
