is there a adapter plate to adapt a v6 transmission to a v8....its outa a 86 2.8 5 speed car.....????

 

If I remember correctly, the trans just swaps over with no modding...however the internals of the V6 are not as strong as the ones in the V8 trannys, therefore, they will not hold up to the abuse of the 350 as well.

Someone wanna back me up on this?

 

The v6 trans has a different sized shaft doesn't it? Same size tip that fits in the pilot bushing but different size/spline on the actual shaft itself?

That and the bellhousing is completely different.

 

Oh because I remember when I did my shift kit install, in the video, they said that "if you come across a number "3" on this valve, STOP! This means that this transmission is from a V6 engine and this shift kit is not suitable for that transmission", meaning that they were interchangeable, say if the previous owner blew the tranny and got one from a V6 donor...or so I thought.

 

If you have a T5 from a V6, you can use that tranny but you will need a V8 bellhousing, V8 flywheel, V8 pressure plate, and a V6 clutch disc.

I am not sure if anyone ever made an adator plate since there really is no need since tranny's for V6 and V8's are not too hard to come by.

 

ok...well, my cousin is getting this v6 5spd. car for free and wanted to put a v8 in it and keep the 5spd...so I'll just tell him to find another tranny

 

You can have an adapter plate made for any engine/trans. combo. But it will be more expensive then just finding a used trans.
