Re: 350 sbc transaxle question

The FWD transaxles from the 85-prior Toronado, Riviera and Eldorado will handle the torque of a 350 Chevy, and although they have the B.O.C. engine bolt pattern, adaptor plates are available to convert them to the Chevy bolt pattern. One issue, (depending on what you plan on putting it in) they are set up with the motor mounted longitudinally (front to back like a RWD car), not transversely (side to side like all other GM FWD vehicles), so you may run out of room under the hood.
