They are good cores to use if you swap the bellhousing for a C-4.

Not to take this thread off topic... Question,

What years and models was the C5 trans used ? Also, any visual markings or way to indentify them once removed from the vehicle? I would like to have a couple of good cores under the bench just in case.....

Thanks ,
