I BAUGHT A 1985 GT ACOUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR $250 THE ONLY BAD THING IS THAT IT HAS NO TRANNY AND THE CRANK IS IN TWO PIECES BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN GOOD SHAPE. I CURRENTLY BAUGHT A 460/C6 COMBO OUT OF A 73 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL THAT RUNS LIKE A TOP WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT. I KNOW WHAT IT TAKE TO GET THE 460 INTO THE CAR BUT I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS GOING TO BE ANY PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE C6 INTO THE TRANNY WELL. THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A T5 BUT THEN WAS CONVERTED TO AN AOD. I HEARD STORIES THAT U HAVE TO GRIND TABS OFF THE CASE OF THE TRANNY FOR HER TO FIT. I DONT KNOW WHICH TABS TO GRIND OFF IF THIS IS TRUE. ANY INFO WILL BE GREATLY APPRICHATED. THE CAR IS NOT GOING TO BE MUCH JUST A STREET TERROR WITH LONG TUBES, HOLLEY CARB AND INTAKE, 4.10'S OR 4.56'S, A 2500 STALL WITH SHIFT KIT AND ALL THE UNESSARY WEIGHT TAKEN OFF THE CAR SUCH AS INSULATION AND SOUND DENSENER. THANK U GUYS FOR YOUR TIME AND KNOWLEDGE.

Im not really an expert in this area but I know someone who has a C6 hooked up to a 429 In an 85 GT. I dont think there should be a problem

I would set motor/tranny in the car, get the motor mounted good, level out the tranny, and then look over what need to be done to get the tranny tied down.

if this is going to be a street car then if i were i would not get any gear over 3.73. 460's get about 8 mpg i was told, unloaded or loaded. those 4.10's would definately kill the mileage, other than that, you got a good deal and combo
