Manual Transmission behind the 3.8
Will the 3.8 bolt up to a T-5 manual trans? Having wild ideas about replacing the anemic 2.1 L Peugeot (god i hate spelling that) turbo diesel in a piece of farm equip. Don't want to pull the engine out of my GN just to try. P.S. it's cold here gets my mind thinking crazy things! Thanks

RE: Manual Transmission behind the 3.8
Not a trivial task ... mainly because the 3.8 was almost exclusively fielded with automatics from the factory.
You'll need flywheel, throwout bearing/pilot bearings, clutch, linkage, etc. I *think* the old H body (think Monza, Skyhawk) might have had a 3.8/manual option back in the 70s. That might be a place to start. However, better start stuffing your pocket book because this will be a fairly expensive adventure and many of the parts will be difficult to find. Here's a link to some info about a swap like this: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/edi...ype/index.html Quote:

Re: Manual Transmission behind the 3.8
I've given this some thought as well. Didn't the Camaros of the 93-2001 vintage come with 3.8s with a manual (non)option? Maybe this is an entirely different bolt pattern...I have no idea.
