sammyboy Jan 6th, 08, 12:02 PM I just got an 85 berlinetta with a 350 swap edlebrock intake manni and a holly 4 barrel carb im gettin into the muslce since my dad is a muscle car guy. I need some info on the tranny that comes in the stock 85 berlintetta 305i know the one that is in it right now is metric but i just cant seem to find any info on it myself so hopefully some of you camaro guys can help me out THANX! SOrry i geuss i could have put this in the transsmision forum my bad dawg Jan 6th, 08, 12:34 PM look here the tranny you got is a TH350C http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/th350.htm JFINN1976 Jan 6th, 08, 12:53 PM It's probally a th200r4 DjD Jan 6th, 08, 02:04 PM If it's stock it's a 700-R4. Johnracer82 Jan 6th, 08, 02:56 PM i own two f-bodies and from my experience they are the longshaft 700r4s. These are good trannies up to 350 horsepower i reccomend buying a streetfighter turbo350 with a low stall converter. Also pick up the torquearm brackets to go with or just like some people and weld it to the frame (bad idea but does work). It will all cost around 1000 but you have a good converter 2.52 first gear and a 450 horsepower rated trans. Just my opinion form breaking the700r4 after 8.90s in the 1/8 I sold the car and know the trans has handle the 125 shot at 7.70s with no prob. dupster Jan 9th, 08, 06:02 PM I had an 86 Z28 and the stock transmission was a 700r4 dnult Jan 9th, 08, 07:29 PM As I recall, if it has METRIC embossed in the pan its a 200C. Unfortunately I loaned out my tranny manual or else I'd look it up. Is it a three speed automatic? The 200C is a three speed with lock-up. Check out http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-transmission-identification.php for pan shapes. The 200C is not shown, but the foot note explains that it is similar in shape to the THM350 pan except for the METRIC embossement. DjD Jan 9th, 08, 09:24 PM All automatic Camaros in '85 got 700-R4's. My '86 El Camino had a 305 and a Metric 200 in it, that would make it easy for folks to think the Camaro could have one as well. Also after 20 something years anything could have been swapped in... dnult Jan 10th, 08, 09:28 PM I did some further research and Dennis is correct. In 85 the 700R4 was standard equipment. The 200C was used in 1980-83 Camaros. Here is a link. http://www.autorepairmanuals.biz/site/573683/page/372807 In any event, I know of no other transmission than the 200C with METRIC stamped on the pan. The OP said, "I know it's a metric", and I presume he says that because of the pan embossment. Perhaps it is a transplant. Now would be a good time for sammyboy to drop in and clarify the details. | ||
