The BTR is not much bigger just the rear crossmember mount is a couple of inches out.
Side by side they are the same length.
The case diameter is a couple of centimetres bigger.
I have one in my 66 with only a crossmember mod.

looking from the front a c4/c10 has the starter mounted to the bell housing on the left down the bottom, from what I can see of the tranny you are trying to fit the starter is mounted on the right and up high. this could be causing your firewall clearance issue.

Husky350:
Geez I remember looking at the c4 and btr side by side and the bellhousing was a fair bit bigger, but it could have been the whole starter motor thing.

shaunp:
Do you have the right sump on the engine? Just a thought may the engine wont drop down to where it needs to be

jiffy:
My thought would be - if you have a newer, 4-spd auto, I would be trying to mod the tunnel and fit that. It’ll be a better driving experience
