The whole transmission. The 2.8 V6 bellhousing is a smaller pattern size than the V8.

69 is almost never wrong so u should start looking for another trans. dont know when but the six s changed sometime along the line back when and the transmission became non interchangable with a v8. 700r4 trans for a 8 is not that hard to find.

Oh boy, you obviously haven't been talking to my wife. She would have a slightly different response!!!
Here's some handy-dandy tranny ID info: http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-transm...tification.php
The one V6 engine that will bolt up to a V8 trans housing (or vice-versa) is the 4.3, which is basically a baby 350.

This should answer your questions: https://camaroforums.com/forum/82-92-general-10/faq-read-first-l-4-v6-v8-swap-info-1229/

Btw, trying to reply to your PM gave me this..."camaro cowboy has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space".
Probably because of the 10 post minimum requirement, but you were able to send one!
