yeah, you cant do that unless you want the shifter to be poking the passenger
If you look at the bell housing, the 4 bolts that attach the tranny to the bell are rotated 18 degrees to the right (passenger side) on Camaro / Firebird trannies. I don't know why they do this. I have a 78 Toyota Celica that I installed a 3.5 aluminum V8 in and used a Z 28 M5. The bellhousing is a 'straight up' bolt pattern on the V8, not the 18 degree rotated style. This put the Z 28 tranny angled toward the passenger side. I had to compensate by cutting the shifter and angling it toward the driver. I think all of the Cam / Fires had the rotated bolt pattern. I also found that using an M5 out of an S10 pickup will work with a conventional straight up bellhousing. The S10 M5 tranny has the 'straight up' bolt pattern. I had to change the tailshaft because the shifter is in a different position on the S10. Confusing? Uh huh. :(
I have a '91 S10 that had a 2.8 weezer in it :tdown:. I swapped a 95 Camaro 3.4 into it and ran a 16.39 spinning the tires all the way through first and part of second. I am looking for an LSD to see if it will run into the 15s or quicker. I am using the original TB fuel infection not tuned. I hope to change the computer / injection to the multi port Camaro injection but think that a carb swap will be easier. It dynoed 117 hp / 142 tq at the wheels with an untuned TB. I think it will gain 30 HP when tuned since the dyno chart showed it running way lean.
I know you guys are only into Cam / Fires, but the 3.4 is a nice engine - I was surprised. I went through similar crap converting the 3.4 auto to a manual. The flywheels are way different from the Camaro to the S10.
Wow those two bolts on the top of the tranny really suck. Im having a lot of trouble with the one on the passenger side, all the others are out but that one. Crossmember is undone and were pulling the tranny down, but it seems like its still just not enough room :-/ Just gotta keep trying.
and is the auto tranny mount the same as the 5spd one? the one on my car looks pretty new and i am planning on reusing it. I have the 5spd crossmember.
