From: calee on 3 Apr 2007 17:26 What transmision will work on a FWD supercharged 3800 V6 out of a Buick/Pontiac? Want a trany to make it a rear wheel drive. Will the trany from an 97 - 02 Camaro/ Firebird work. If so what is the model number. Thanks

Seems as I saw a modified trans from a 2.8 v-6 S10 put behind a FWD Northstar & all installed in either a 55 or 57 Chevy rwd. Would be better to find a 3800 from a Camaro (or a Firebird?) in a salvage yard--it's already turned 90 degrees for you; i.e., a rear wheel drive. But, I agree with your wishes--I think the s'chg'd 3800 FWD would make an ideal upgrade for many cars, plus they should be easy on fuel. s

They must have a trany that fits it for rear wheel drive. Dont know where to find out.
