C6 Transmission in a 1995?

It should fit with out much modification. Just make sure you don't cut corners on a good converter for it. I just think you will be very unhappy with that transmission. It's going to rob a lot of power.

Kurt is right. Although the C6 IS a killer trans, it really is heavy duty enough that it should be behind a hot big block. (Or a HUGE 351w with nitrous and a blower.) You should see the inside of one...big, heavy parts that the engine has to spin, just to move the car. It is overkill for even a hot 347. I wouldn't put it in, with a 5.0. It would sap power worse than an AOD-E.

Maybe you can get the C6 and use it as trading fodder for a C4. (If you really are dead set against OD.) But, there IS a reason it's for sale cheap. If you buy it to trade for something else, you may get stuck with it.

I'm sure it will fit and work just fine. You might need a different crossmember. A shorter driveshaft. A different shifter than OE. Maybe a pound here and there with a BFH on the trans tunnel.
