Re: 700R4 work with v6
Sure, just need to get one from a V6 Camaro or Firebird. Best to get one from an '87 or newer. The f-body 700R4 will be the correct length along with having the proper tailhousing with the torque arm mount.
It also needs to be from a 6 as the bell's are different between the 8's and 6's. Best bet is to find a junkyard car with one and get all the other parts involved (sounds like a swap from a stick?). Flexpate & bolts, cover, shifter cable, console, shifter, etc. Note that the stick driveshaft will work.
Another note: check on the V6 board here for engine balance. Someplace along the way GM changed the balance of the V6 engines. This will dictate which flex plate is required.
