Re: 85 Camaro 2.8 V6 Transmission
it came with a 700r4. there is a difference between the v6 and v8 transmission and i believe torque converters. talk with Dave on some of the turbo threads. project89 is his name on here. see what he ran on his turbo 660.

Re: 85 Camaro 2.8 V6 Transmission
You're better off getting a later model performance built 700R4 if you're interested in boost. Between 87-90, the 700R4 went through several upgrades in the clutch packs. And yes, there is a difference between the V6 and V8 transmissions, in that the V6 trans has a smaller bellhousing and torque converter.

The V8s also have more clutches inside and 31 spline input shaft iirc compared to 28 spline with v6.
