C6 in a 66?
At some point in my '66s history the C4 was replaced with a 3 speed manual transmission.
I'm going to put an automatic back in the car but I'd really like to examine the options I have.
It would be nice to have an extra gear on the freewayto help with the mileage, C6s are easy and cheap to come by nad can take a beating.
Can one be placed in a 66 coupe? What modifications are needed?
...or should I consider something else keeping in mind I don't want to spend a small fortune.

RE: C6 in a 66?
The C6 you need has to have a small block bolt pattern. They were only used in vans and trucks with a 302 or 351w. Also a C6 is a three speed. I think I remember reading somewhere that the transmission tunnel has to be modified in the early cars.
