I was waiting for someone to respond who has done the swap. I haven't, but I have researched it and here is what I have heard.

You may already know this, but only an FE (352/390/428 ) C6 will fit your engine. The small block and 351/400/429/460 trans will not bolt up.

66 Gal crossmember will work--I think it gets turned around for the C6 (trans mount is further rearward on C6)

Collumn shift rod from trans to linkage will need to be from C6 car. Also if the trans is from a floor shift car the arm on the trans will face down, you need one that faces up.

The C6 is longer and you will need to get the driveshaft shortened. There are also issues with speedometer cable, emergency brake linkage (attached to the trans crossmember).

In my opinion, you should find a 66-68 galaxie with an FE and C6 or else you will be spending as much $$ and time to adapt the C6 as to rebuild the FMX. FYI it cost me $800 for a complete rebuild on the FMX in my '65 galaxie, including removal and installation. You might do some more shopping around if you want to get it on the road with the least amount of hassle.

If you plan on hopping up the engine, go with the C6. If you want to cruise the car, get a better quote on rebuilding your trans.
