    so 302 swap soon....right now i have the I6 200. i am assuming there is a difference in this current c4 trans that the 200 runs vs the c4 thats ran with the 302....correct?

    if so what is the differences?

    ok thanks. i guess my next questions are...

    how is it performance wise one vs the other?
    gear ratios different?
    would i benefit from the v8 version?
    or would i be just the same if i rebuilt the one i have now?
