i was wondering if the 91 v6 3.1 firebirds had the 700r4 trany im pretty sure they did .. because i plan on putting in a 350 in it and the mechanic was tellin me wat i though was BS that the v6 tranny wouldnt hold the power of the 350 so anyone know if it will??

no really knows for sure since it won't bolt up to a SBC

yes you have a 700r4, yes you can put a SBC in your car, a SBC won't bolt up to your trans

For the complete engine swap or for the tranny mounting?

the bolt pattern on the v6 cars and the v8 cars are different exc the 4.3 so your tranny will not line up with the 350 you will have to get a transmission from either a v8 or a 4.3 v6

check the engine swap board there should be lots of material there to tell you all you need to know
