There are adapters for everything.


Wish overdrive transmission fits on 351m engine?

the 351M/400M Ford motor has the big block bellhousing bolt pattern, like the 460 and 429 engines. So any overdrive transmission would need to have the Ford Big Block bolt pattern or you will need an adaptor. I do not believe Ford built any overdrive transmission for the Big Blocks. So I don't think there are any direct bolt ons The Ford AOD is a Ford Overdrive transmission that may be used but an adaptor plate and other modifications will have to be made. The GM 700R4 is a good overdrive transmission but would definitely require an adaptor plate.

351 big block taking out. replacing with 351 small block. will the transmission line up?

There is no such thing as a "351 big block". ALL Ford 351's are considered small blocks, tho the wacked terminology of "351 big block" is mistakenly and continually repeated by the un-knowing and by many who should know better. Ford Motor Company considers ALL 351's small blocks; 351W, 351C, and 351M. Ford made a 352 big block (FE block like 360, 390, 406, 427, & 428). If that is what you meant, no the transmission bolt patterns are not the same. The 351W and 351C both have the same trans bolt pattern but the 351M has a bolt pattern like the 429 and 460.

Will a small block ford c6 transmission transfer case bolt up to a big block 460 c6 transmission?

Well, depending on what year or years you are talking about, the transfer case should bolt up to the transmissions extension housing. Although I am not sure I would do that as I am 99% sure that a transfer case from a small block application is considerably less durable than one from a big block application unless you have a case from a 3/4 ton pickup that was powered by a small block. But either way as long as you are only trying to interchange the transfer case it should work. If you are trying to interchange the transmission and transfer case as a unit then no it will not work as the big block has a larger bell housing pattern then does a small block on Ford applications.


Will a 460 Ford transmission fit a Ford 302 engine?

no! the bolt pattern is totally different . only 4 bolts will line up and torque converter patterns are different. you can get adapters and correct torque converters. ford offered the c6 auto for the small block but it had different stall speed settings than a big block.
