| Make sure you replace the flexplate. Also... |

...some 1961/62 engines didn't come with an engine plate sandwiched between the block and bellhousing. If you install a C6, you'll need to add one to keep the spacing proper, as all C6 engines got an engine plate.
The C6 flexplate is needed for two reasons. First, the torque converter offset is apparently different between the two trannys, and keeping the correct flexplate will assure the front tranny pump engages properly, and also the #3 engine main bearing doesn't get overworked at the thrust face. Second, the '61/'62 starter was a different design entirely (early FE), so you'll have to use a starter compatible with the tranny/flywheel you select (late FE).
