  • 3.4 to 3.8 Tranny

    Will the 3.8 fit on the 3.4's transmission? And if it will...what other things will I need to buy to do a 3.4 to 3.8 swap?

      The bellhousings are the same bolt pattern, but im not sure if the starter is on the same side.

          Good Luck finding that out, I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks, even online salvage yards couldnt give me a straight answer.

              ugh, how can they be the same bolt patern if one engine is 90* and another is 60*?


              hell I guess it could happen, but I doubt it. only way to tell is have the 2 trannies side by side and compare.

                    Yes, one is 60 degree and one 90, but they have the same bolt pattern. The 3800 was made as a fwd engine, so i quess they made it with the 60 degree bolt pattern so they didnt have to change the tranny. All i am saying is it is the same bellhousing bolt pattern, im not saying it will work because the starter might be on the wrong side or the tranny might not be controled the same way electronicaly.

                      3800 Side

                      Here is a picture of my transmission from a 96 Camaro, it is not a good picture of the bolt pattern, but it is the best picture i have.
