A C-6 is bigger, heavier, and beefier then a C-4. Both have 3 forward gears. A well built C-4 will handle 300 horse ok, the C-6 would only take some minor mods. Both trannies work good. I actually prefer the C-4 if it's going in a lighter car. C-6 will handle bigger horse and heavier cars and pickups, though.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

The biggest drawback to a C4 is the low oil flow to the cooler. They overheat if you put too much power through them.

Actually a well built C4 will handle 450 - 500Hp +, but, if you have room and a choice, a C6 is always the best way to go - tho a small block version is tough to find.
Dang Chebbie guys - ya mention a C4 or 6 they instantly think that we are talking about those clay pigeons that GM builds - you know, shatter when hit.Dave

it's either Hot Rod mag or Popular Hot Rodding that is starting a project Fox body LS1 I think that's hilarious, but still rediculous.
I think the PAYBACK Camaro is really funny, but a bit sick I can dish it but I sure can't take it'35 Ford coupe- LT1/T56, '32 Ford pickup, 70 GTO convertible, 06 GTO

Actually I am putting a foriegn engine in a foriegn truck (both Ford though) and I have both boxes C4 & C6 for my 351W hence the original question, I just noticed that the C6 is much heavier, I will go C4 for starters.
Sorry guys but I love the Vette over here but the down side is gas at$8-9 a gallon and the steering on the wrong side.
There is also serious competition with similar performance cars over here but gas or not I just love a V8.
