bolt patterns for tranny
I have an 89 iroc with a 350 tpi that the tranny went out on, I've been calling around to get a tranny from a junk yard for it but no one has one for a 350. I asked someone why a 305 th700-r4 wouldnt fit and he said the bolt patterns were different. Would i be able to drill new holes to be able to bolt up one from a 305? and I was also thinking about buying a 5-speed set up but a web page i went to said that 350's diddnt come with a 5-speed because of emission problems, so woulndt i have to make new holes for that to if i could?

They're probably talking about the flex plate. The 305 should have the small flex plate and the torque converter bolts from a 350 won't line up. A dual bolt patter flex plate will fix that problem.
As for bell housing bolts, All SBC have the same bellhousing bolt pattern.
