O.K.
Sadly enough my project may be on hold for awhile.
I came across a COMPLETE V6 & Tranny,in my search for a SBC V8.
It's a old 4.3 with a straight Carb,& the motor mounts still on it.
(# 471594)
It turns freely & looks to be in good shape,the guy says it was running when they took it out of a 72' El Camino.
My wife really likes the Idea of dropping the combo down into our 83' Cutless Supreme,(thought it was a 84" until i checked the title) .
It has a "NONRUNNING" 3.8 and tranny in it as we speak.
Heres the question...
Will the 4.3,& tranny go right into the Cutless without a FUSS?
Are the two Tranny's the same.So I can rebuild the old one that comes out with the 3.8,and set it back as a spare for the 4.3?
(DEAR GOD HELP ME,there both automatics!)
I checked the Forums,& unless it's hidden,in code etc... didn't see anything answering these particular questions.
I really do need to get a Back-Up car going quickly,as we have only one car running,(under protest) at the present.
