Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I am entertaining the concept of putting a 1992 3300 into a 1979 Olds Starfire, complete with factory injection, etc. My main concern at this point is with bolt patterns, i.e., will motor mounts match up with original 231, will bellhousing bolt up to original 200 a/t? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Loyd Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 [color:"blue"]This has been covered in the GN T-Type list. A search revealed:That V6 engine will not bolt to to the BOP bellhousings. That engine probably has the "corporate FWD" bellhousing. With the FWD block, you can use the T5 and bellhousing from an S-10 pickup or F-body with the 2.8 V6, or the 700R4 from the same type of vehicle.Do not have a clue about the motor mounts, but would assume you would have to relocate the pads once you got the transmission mounted in the back. Then custom make the drive shaft.This should not be that difficult and would make a great driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Loyd - thanks for the input. I'll have to research the GN T type list a little bit. I'm thinking that it would be a fun driver, and the O/D tranny wouldn't be all bad either. Thanks again. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
