I have a Buick 3800 in a front wheel drive park avenue(1988). My question is can this be adapted to a rear wheel drive tranny??

houlster said:The 3800 bell is the standard GM 60 deg V6 pattern, so yeah, same as 2.8, 3.1, 3.4. Not sure if there was a manual FWD or not, but the f-body used the series II 3800 as well so a flywheel will work from that. Note though, the L67 SC motor has a differently balanced flexplate, so the non-SC flywheel may need re-balancing if you're gonna use it on a SC motor.
Lots of good manual tranny bellhousing info here:

Didn't some camaro's have 3800's with 5spds.hklvette said:3800s to my knowledge never came with manual transmissions.
