ok first off, tell your dad NOT to get the 400. Its a crappy motor, and performance parts are rare and VERy expensive (relatively speaking). Instead tell him to find a 429/460. The already have swap kits for the 429/460 blocks. At any rate, if he is bound and determined you can use a c-6, and those came in trucks, vans, large family sedans (early/mid 70's).

so youa re talking about the modified cleveland 400 motor right??? I think your only options ar c4 or c6. They both are on tons of trucks, but the trick is getting the right bellhousing. That is going to bethe hardest part.
