Answer
you would have to at least change the bellhousing.  C6 transmissions do not have a seperate bellhousing so it cannot be done with them.  The 351M uses the 429-460 style transmission while the 351C uses the 302-351W style transmission.  You would also have to change your motor mounts as well as exhaust
