Howard;

I know that 80's Ford pickups and vans that used the 6.9 motor used the 
same transmission C6 as the 460.  Did IH manufacture some of the 6.9's 
with a 460 Ford bolt pattern on the block or was adapter used like on 
the 7.3's.  I know the torque converters are also the same and you don't 
use a spacer with it or the flywheel.

FYI I have a C6 in my Dually that originally left the factory behind a 
6.9.  The trans is built a little stronger for the diesel than for the 
gas motors, and the 460 trans was built stronger than the transmissions 
the smaller engines.  Different clutch packs and baskets.
