JIm: The C6 is to big. The C4 is a near bolt in- Rootes actually built a
couple of automatics late in the Tigers life. There's a old CAT article on
swapping the C4 into a Tiger- the drive shaft  goes back in with the help
of a spacer. If you're serious about this, I can dig out the article and
scan it for you.
