Sounds like a good swap to me. |

I'm far from a C6 wiz, but the only difference I'd know of between a 1969 case and a 1971 case might be that one has thevacuum modulator fastened to the tranny with a clamp (clamps sorta like an FE distributor), and the other has a threaded-in vacuum modulator. The change may have actually happened in 1972, I can't remember.
Starting in 1969 (late 1968 models, too?) a few extra holes were drilled in C6 iron (not the case) to promote extra drainback or lubrication in a couple areas for severe racing. There are plenty of rebuild kits which explain how to drill out earlier parts to match later parts. All C6s after this were drilled.
I suspect you can swap cases without any issues, possibly excepting the alternate modulater mount requiring the new-style modulator.
I have heard one faint rumor there is an FE case with extra ribs on it, but I presently believe it's a false rumor. You may want to compare the CJ case with the 1971 case, just to be sure they cosmetically appear identical on the outside. If different, please let us know.
JMO, Shoe. |
