Can a v-8(305 or 350) be swapped into a 82-92 camaro that had a v-6 originally??
some people say the v-6 (borg warner)or(world class) manual can wear the v-8 and some say no.
I would love to be able to buy a cheap V-6 fbody and just slap in a 350.

And you will get more help if you use a proper tittle for your question, not "I really need "....

 

You just joined. Nothing wrong with that.

You'll learn a crazy amount by reading posts here about transmissions, in the swap section regarding the swap of a V6 to a V8.

A V6 T5 is not the best gearing for a 350. The third gen V8 T5 had very good gearing for a 350, but isn't as durable an option as some.

And before you proceed with your plan, consider each cheap V6 F-body for sale. Then consider a similar V8 one. Having a working V8 transmission, engine mounts, cooling system, tachometer and a variety of other features is oftentimes worth the difference in price.

 

Ok. Ya im new to the thread talkin stuff.

So Jmd, r u saying the v6 manual tranny is able to bolt up to the v8? i was told they have different bolt patterens on the bell housing. thx for the help. ill b checking into the engine swap department, now that i know about it. haha

 

There are differences. If it is a 60* v6, it will not bolt up to a v8, if it is a 90* v6 it will. 60* v6's include the 2.8, 3.1 and possibly the 3.4. The 4.3L is a 90* v6 and has the same bellhousing as a v8.
The gearbox will work, but you will need a new clutch, flywheel, and bell housing.
