Were there 2 different bell housings? I have a C-6 that some guy wants to put behind a 460, and the trans came in a ’73 Torino bolted up to a 351 cleveland. Will the C-6 transmission bolt up to a 351 cleveland and a 460? In other words are the bellhousing patterns the same? Tanks for any help.

there were 3 different bell housings.... the small block c6 used in vans among other things and then 2 big block ones that i know of
the 351c uses a small block bell housing (same as later 289's, 302's, and 351w's)
the 429/460 uses the big block bell housing (also same as 351m/400)
the fe is for the 332/352/360/390/406/410/427/428
i think that covers the c6 bellhousing patterns......
someone correct me if i'm wrong...

There may also be one other, the C6 that was used behind the Powerstroke Diesels. Otherwise, slackr is correct.

I knew of 2, but I checked B & M Racing and there is 3 total bellhousing patterns for C6.

Small block which includes 351c.(rare)
Big block including 351m and 400
FE block

D.Hearne is incorrect, the 7.3 Powerstroke is a 4R100. The new 6.0 PS is a new design which is built by Ford with help from Allison.

I wasn't sure on the Powerstroke, I figured that's what was behind em, based on the owners manual for my 95 E150 van. It lists' the C6 in there, didn't figure the 460's still had them by then.
