How much longer is one than the other? When swapping in a 351w with a C6 will the cross memebr line up correctly? The previous engine is an I6 with a C4 tranny.I am putting in a HEI one wire distributor. The cap is not marked with a number one; will number one be where ever the rotor pointing to?

A small block or 300 6short case C-6 is about an inch and a half longer than a C-4.
The original crossmember will not work.
It won't clear the C-6 pan.
You will have to fabricate one.
Number one on the distributor will be wherever you plug in #1 plug wire. ------------------

So the tranny will bolt to the same spot as the current cross member? I just need to make a cross member that will fit the tranny? Anyone know the measurements for a crossmember?
