I would suspect a TH 200 Metric.The 4 speed automatics are big, heavy, and suck up HP that the V6 doesn't have. A legal "clutch assisted" 5 speed would probably run well. |
Re: 231 v6 trans
I know the one of Chin Racing has a M200. Although likely scarce as hens teeth they were made with a 60 degree v6 bellhousing for the early 3rd gen camaros.

Could have been from a Camaro, but the 1st gen . S 10 also had the that style behind the 2.8 and the 2.5 engines..Might be a little easier to find. |
Re: 231 v6 trans
Thanks guys, saw one for sale real cheap. Thought it would make a low dollar stocker /bracket car for 12yr old grandson to learn on. Rick

The 231 is a Buick engine and it's a 90 degree V6. The 2.8 in the S-10 is a 60 degree V-6 and it's completely differrent.

Later in the development of the 3.8 L Buick they changed the Bellhousing style to the GM small bell configuration . The Buick V-6 used to have the BOP bell , but when that engine was re-done to the Buick 3800 the bell was changed to the GM small bell , so the block was different and was used even in RWD vehicles like the 4th gen Firebirds and Camaros with that small bell . My street car is a 1996 Firebird with a 3800 and it has a 4L60e with that small bellhousing . The small bell was used on the Chevy 2.8 , 3.1 , and 3.4 L engines . |
