Can I take a transverse designed 3800 motor, from say, a park ave or lesabre, and bolt this motor to a longitudinal transmission, say a 3 TH350 or a TH700R4? Will the dowel pins and bolt holes on thie transverse motor line up? Also, what about motor mount position... Basically I need to know if I can put a Series II 3800 transverse in place of a longitudinal motor...
Yes yes, I acknowledge my typo, lol, disregard the extra "3"..... as for the question at hand, and I do realize I may not get details, but we are kinda looking for specifics if possible. We want to use a bonneville supercharged 3800 against a TH350... Can "motor mount adaptors" be fabricated? What about the actual abutment of block to bellhousing? Is there a company who makes adaptors? Sry for so many questions and lengthyness...
 
The only longitudinal transmission that will bolt to that motor is the 200R4 which was used behind the mid 80 Buick Regals, Can go back to the early 70's and find a 200 transmission which is a 3 speed transmission. There are company's that make adapters would check internet or have a good machine make one for you. Also the 200R4 can be built to take the power. were behind 3.8 turbo Grand National
