I have a 84 camaro currently with a v6 and am wanting to change to 305 or 350. It has a 700r4 trans and I am wondering if the transmission, torque converter etc. will have to be changed or maybe just need to change bellhousing and converter any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx</P>

you would probably have to change everything to handle the V8 power, buying a wrecked v8 car and taking everything off it would be the best and cheapest way, as you would need the computer, etc

everything that has to do with the drive train needs to be replaced torque converter,tranny, camshaft, to the rearend/ rear end gears.

sry I wasnt paying attenchion when I was typing if your switching from a 305 then youdont have to change anything

he wants to switch V-6 to a V-8

then I go with the first thing I said. "DarkBirdZ28 Date 2/16/2005 7:30:45 AM

exactly......bastard V-6 Camaros.......

Why would u get rid of the v6 uggghhhh. Just gut the cat and you will unleash more power than u can imagine uggghhh. The torque is incredible uggghhhh.

i put a 305 worked into my v6 camaro, went to carb headers everything, no problems, 700r4 trans r junk in the first place, try getting a 350 turbo and your set...my stock rear is still in my car wich r 3:73's and no prob at all with the power am getting from my little 305 :)

hey darkbirdz28...what's gutting the cat??..dont worry..im not stupid..just young and inexperienced with cars...trying to learn.

"gutting" the cat, is simply slamming a pipe or similar item throught the catalytic converter from the intake end to the exhaust end, breaking out the honey combs inside

OR just buy amid pipe that doesnt have cats ;)

the 700r4 will work, my car came with it and its got a factory 305 tpi

Hey Aubreyhester,
You should not be smoking or eating all that cat gut. The effects are starting to show.
