Small Block C6's.
Dan Jones is almost entirly correct BUT small block C6's DO have ribs on
the upper part of the trans. I suspect he's thinking of the smallblock
FMX which has an iron case and alloy bellhousing and no ribs.Useful only
for light use only.
The small block C6 is quite rare but very handy if your small block
makes a bunch of power. I read somewhere that racers prefer a C4 despite
the strength loss due to the lighter weight of the trans and lighter
rotating mass= faster ET's.
Because of there rarity in Australia there are adaptors to fit GM autos
to the Ford block.....
BTW in NZ guys try and make a big deal about RIB BACK C6's (for 429/460)
as though it is some real special part.......dreamers !
