Ive got an 86 camaro with a 2.8 , manual transmission and im trying to swap it with a 350 and a th350 tranny. But im having problems converting the manual to the automatic. tranny mount? drive line? Im just plan lost can anyone steer me in the right direction?

 

the things you will need, 1-new motor mount for the frame. 2-you will have to run new fuel line. the 2.8 fuel pump is on the opposite side of the motor than a 350. 3-bigger radiator. and thats it. the tranny crossmember will work the same, but the tranny for the 2.8 is different than the one for the 350. I had to do all this my self not to long ago. good luck

 

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

The TH350 won't have provisions for mounting the differential torque arm. You'll need a kit that provides that mounting. Available from Summit and Jegs.

You'll have to move the tranny crossmember up because the TH350 is shorter than the T5 you're taking out. This requires a longer crossmember.

 

I went to pu t on the new mounts to the frame but the holes dont line up, do i need to drill new ones?

 

Engine mounts on the front crossmember? They should line up without drilling holes. You do need to move the brake line to the back of the crossmember so the mounts don't sit on top of it.

Did you read the V6 to V8 sticky at the top of this forum?
