Help Plz

HI, im seeking advice with a 86 Camaro w/ 2.8L and a TH350. How will this car run performance wise, I know not good, but how bad is it? Also what would I need to do/get to put a "real motor"(350) where the gutless thing sits. I bought the car on Ebay so I was wondering b4 I picked it up. Well thx

Well since you have a th350 it is probly a universal bell housing (you need to check this, it can be done by counting the holes in the bell housing). If you do then all you have to do is remove the v6 and put the v8 mounts in. They are the forward 3 holes in frame. Then you put the motor in, you can find more detail in the stickey at the top of the engine swap page.

I have never heard of a TH350 that mounts to the 2.8/3.1/3.4 60-degree V6. I sense something amiss here.

Is your spidey sense tingling?

There wasnt one, thats for sure. The only dual bolt pattern you would find is a Chevy/BOP dual bolt pattern.
