im gonna be doing the swap. i have read everything saying the 2.8L trans wont bolt to a v8. does anyone have any pics to prove it cause my brother in law says it will bolt up to a v8. i dont need any negative that it wont bolt up. i just want PICS if anyone has them. if not i will just unbolt my old trans and prove it to him myself.

 

the bellhousing are different, the 2.8s are 60 degree housing and the v8s are i believe 90 degree

 

The bolt pattern is completely different.

 

already knew that just wanted pics

thanks thats all i needed to see since i havent unbolted it yet.

 

No problem bud. The V6 tranny is physically smaller than the V8 I believe.

 

No, the V8 guts will go in the V6 case, whether 700R-4 or T5.

 

i heard the guts are swapable just wouldnt adapt to the v8. now that i seen what the bolt pattern actually looks like i can actually get a v8 trans.
