| All trannies have steel output shafts. |

You're thinking of the tail housing.
Most C6s have aluminum tail housings, the exception being CJ and police interceptor cars which have cast iron tailshaft housings.
390GT got a fairly ordinary C6, which is a great tranny. In fact, though the cast iron tailshaft may offer some status, the aluminum tail C6 weighs less, and it's proven reliable in most any situation.
Unless I was building a concourse correct car, I'd go with the aluminum tail. If you're looking to build a performance C6, start with any common 1967-later core and go from there (the "Select-Shift" shifting pattern started in 1967, 1966 had the old "Dual-Range" shift pattern). Note that 1969-later C6s got some minor oiling mods - it's easy to retrofit these mods to ealier C6s, if you wish. It's not really necessary, though.
Lastly, note the compatibility differences between C6s are mainly due to the shift arm which pokes outta the tranny case. This arm can be easily swapped or easily welded to suit any application, such as column shift or floor shift positions.
Just my opinion,
Shoe. |
