the getrag from a 2.2 OHV is the common trans for the 3800 swap guys.

[60degreev6.com](http://60degreev6.com) is a good resource.

I know that the 90 degree v6 that is in a s10 pickup has a different bellhousing than the 60 degree v6 that they used to put in those trucks. The bellhousing on a 4.3 is the same as a sbc, but the transmission from a 2.8L will not bolt up the the block. You may want to see if you can find pictures of the transmissions before you but a transmission. I think the bellhousing on a 90 degree is quite a bit wider than the 60.

he’s correct, 4.3 is 90 degress 2.8 is 60 degress

buick 3800 should also be a 60 degree bellhousing
