I'm just about to buy a th350 for my 87 camaro cause im droppin a 350 engine in it and my friends friend is tellin me it wont fit. He says the bell houseing is too big. No one else said anything about this so i was hopeing someone on here could help me out before its too late...

 

if it has the SBC bolt pattern it'll bolt up and fit just fine

 

It will bolt rightup.No problem

 

it will bolt right up to that bad boy. the only thing that wont is the tranny mount. get the mount kit from summit i think b&m is only 80 bucks

 

The mount kit from B&M Will only address the TORQUE ARMMM!!!!!! U are going to need a longer driveshaft, a different crossmember & a 3 speed console. All of these parts can be bought from the junkyard. The year of the "PARTS" car U want is 82-84 camaro/firebird with a 3 speed metric 200 trans. When U find the car get the Cross member, driveshaft & 3speed console.

sorry man i just thought those were already assumed or deamed necessary

 

hey guys, just thought I should throw this out there. I just bolted in a long-tail th350 into my '87 IROC and a diff. driveshaft is not needed, nor is a different mount. The B&M kit addresses all of the above including torgue arm. The only thing is, B&M tells you to buy a new mount for the torque arm, but if you own a drill, you can just drill a couple holes and use your old one. I have no problems what-so-ever with my setup. As far as a different console goes, you don't need one, all the forward gears are just bumped up one gear, i.e. 2=1. 3=2, o/d=3. No big deal as far as I am concerned.
