hi, I’m doing an engine swap on my 1971 Torino. I’m swapping out a 250ci with a c4 for a 460 with a c6 and I’m wanting to know if the c6 will line up with the c4 crossmember after replacing the engine mounts.

welcome! not sure but the c-6 is longer than the c-4 so i'm guessing maybe they used different tranny cross members???

You will most likley have to relocate the cross member due to the difference is size like John mentions.  This thread is for a Mustang, but same idea:

Tranny mount is in a different location. Driveshaft is a different length and yokes are different.
