    ya, im still trying to get the parts needed for the swap figured out. Im still needing to raise FUNDS to do this swap. I did GET my C4 tranny last weekend and its sitting in the garage next to my 351w....Im currently am looking for the engine stands (mounts) and still looking for headers too.

    most small block engines have a c4 trans and most big blocks use the c6 trans. the c6 for a small block was used for hipo engines in mustangs and torinos fairlanes ectra.

    no it wasn't. the C6 was featured behind the 300 six and some SBF engines in pick-up trucks
