If you are going to get a new transmission grab an extra gear and go with the 700R4

I think both chassis codes were arbitrary, outside of not conflicting with other GM car line chassis codes.

The marketing challenge was to retain the C/K designations for the new body styles during the overlapping years that both body styles were produced and sold (1987 - 1991).

Mixed opinions about whether the 6 bolt was better or different internally.

The 400 is a great transmission.

It's funny how after 36 years the confusion has only slightly waned.
