FMX/CruiseO/or C6? How to tell?

Had a buddy let me get my '66 Galaxie, 390GT, FMX/CruiseO? on a lift and this is what I discovered:

Trans pan has 14 bolts with an unusual pan design...not perfectly square or rectangular...has one corner that kinda cut in. Also, linkage and vacuum module are on driver's side. Put a magnet up to it...only sticks to pan, did not stick to case.

Now I'm really confused...magnet test would say C6...pan design suggests FMX...any thoughts?

Really leaked this weekend...yet it shifts and drives smoothly. Might be cheaper to do a converter,shift kit, and seal repair for this trans than putting in a "new" C6...Ideally just want to launch a bit harder and "chirp" the tires when I get on it. Not a strip car...just want to go hard to speed limit...you know, stop light racing!

Thanks for your time and help!
