Hello all. I am new to the forum but I hope there are some here that can provide me with some direction. I have an 84 f350 crewcab with a 460 and a C6. Long story short the tranny finally gave up the ghost. I found a really good C6 out of an 86 f350 with a 6.9. Looked at Hollander interchange and it said it was a direct swap. WRONG!!!!!!!! The transmission I can make work easy enough, but the other problem is there is no where to mount the starter on the 6.9 tranny. There is enough meat to drill the mounting hole on the top, but not the bottom from what I can see. Any ideas on how to make this work? I hope so, this is mydaily driver, and from what I have seen the diesel tranny is a little beefier than the gas C6. Thanks for the help.
