C6 Swap

[dragstang86]

I understand that the c-6 is free and all but....why do u guys saying you highly recommend the c-6 vs. the c-4 on a street car? A well built c-4 will handle that little 302 no problem. The c-4 is two and a half tenths quicker than the c-6 in the quarter because the c-6 has alot more rotational mass. We have a c-4 5500 stall, in one of our race cars thats behind a big block making 700+ horsepower to the wheels and boat loads of torque coming from the alcohol injection and that thing keeps on kicking. We have ran a c-6 in the past and they are some strong trannys but they are slower and i would definately recommend a c-4 vs. a c-6 on a small block application (in this case the c-6 is free which changes things) a c-6 is definately not the way to go on a performance minded car. I'd put a powerglide in there first.

I have a c-4 in my street car and definately run the hell out of it and havnt had a problem and its gotta run real low 12's now.

As far as the flywheel and driveshaft...87BOSS351C....is right on the money

good luck with it....
