worlds,

The C-6 transmission with the small block housing is hard to find. I've got one for a future project. Most of the C-6's were for the big block Ford engines, (351M/400M/460M/etc.). And I do know the 85' 302 would not have the 'hole" for the "Z" bar for a clutch as those years would use a "wet" clutch.

Here's the really good tutorial Keith has provided for us that tells a lot more:

It will bolt up long as it is a small block bellhousing c6,240,300, 302, 351w, be sure to use a 50oz balance flexplate. The 302 changed from 28oz to 50oz in the early 80's. If you have a 67 c6 it's probalbly from an fe engine.
Ford use c6 trans behind the 302 starting in 78, maybe 77 but for not for sure on the year. Hope my :2cents: helps. :thup:

The small block pattern is not hard to find around here. BUT, if you are not planning on towing much or often I would recommend the c4 or c5.
I swapped from a c6 to a c4 once when I still had a small block in my 71 and was totally surprised by the extra amount of power I got just from the swap.
The C6 uses alot of power to operate.

AFAIK the '67 didn't use the C6, it used the FMX.
