FMX is cast iron, C4 and C6 are aluminum. Converter won't work from one to 'tother.

Quite honestly, I've never seen a C-4 that wasn't detachable. The C-6's and the Mid 80's C-3 were cast one piece. Maybe later C-4's were one piece, but I've never had one.Duane S

They make a small block C6 that looks like what you are describing. It has a one piece housing.

I don't have a picture and it's been awhile since I've seen one. They were usually found behind V-6's that didn't have an AOD. I'll see if I can find a link.Duane S

Well, All I found out so far is there was a C-5 also for V-8's without OD. I didn't even know that one existed. Still can't find a link that has pictures.Duane S

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
