i have a 1989 firebird 2.8l with a stock transmission in it and i was thinking about swapping in a 1999 grand prix 3.8 supercharged motor in. i was just wondering if i would need a new tranmission. i have gotten alot of suggestions about getting a turbo 350, would that fit that motor? any help would be highly appreciated

you have alot more to worry about with that swap then the trans.
You would need a custom made one id bet as it would be easier just
to get a V8 700R4, so id doubt anyone ever made one of those. But if you got cash it can be made.
in the offroad world you will find folks using them allot.
can find dune buggys with anything hanging off the rear of it from a 2.8 to a big old 500 Caddy
not to mention that the tq convertor has a different bolt pattern than the small block flexplate has...right?

In general it doesn't matter what bolt pattern or size anything has when you get an adapter kit made. They figure that all in. But a V8 TC will fit a V6 trans n vise versa. Why the V8 guys go after the V6 700 TC from the s10/15 for a cheap way to get a higher stall smaller TC.
But doing all that when its easier to just get a V8 700 is sort of a waste, unless you have some major reason to keep the V6 one.
ok whatever, forgot its fwd. ill just get a thunderbird 3.8 supercharger. but im still wondering if the my tranny can take it. or what kind should i buy so it wouldnt blow.
