My understanding is that the 700r4 behind my 85 s10 2.8 liter v6 has a differant bolt pattern then the 700 for a v8 is that for all v6's.  the plan is to put my 53 chevy 3100 AD under the longbed s10- frame.  I want a 350 motor in my project and a 700r4 is my choice for a daily driver to work 100 miles per day minimum.  The motor is being pulled to go in my 85 s10 blaser with a bad motor 2.8 v6.  If they are differant is there a easy and quick way to tell if the 700r4 is compatable with the 350 chevy thanks Ed

Yes, the 2.8 has the FWD style bolt pattern. It is smaller than the V8 pattern. There are plate style adapters to bolt the V6 pattern engines to the V8 trans. I'm not sure if they would work in the other direction. Speedway has a picture in their catalog.

That is something I was interested in hearing because there is a camero with a 700r4 that I believe has the bigger v6 with a bad motor that probably could be purchased for the price of the  transmission.  thanks for the responses Ed ke6bnl

Camaros only came with the 90 degree chevy v6 in 1980-81 and that was the 229 cu in not the 4.3, but it still had the V8 pattern.

1996 & up the 6 was the buick 3.8
1995 either 60 degree 3.4 chevy or 90 degree buick 3.8
1993-94 60 degree 3.4 chevy
1990-1992 60 degree 3.1 chevy
1982-1989 60 degree 2.8 chevy
1980-1981 90 degree 229 chevy or buick 3.8
1979-earlier 250 straight 6 with V8 pattern
