Has anyone hooked a standard rwd trans to the 3.8 motor? I have a kitcar that I would like to put this combo in, but don't know if you can match a
5 spd and flywheel on to the 3.8. Any suggestions?- posted

Aren't the boltups between the 3800 and the 3800SC the same? the FWD versions use the same transmission, the SC just has a HD trans.
I am not familiar with this, but are there any rwd 3.8 configurations with
5 spd standard trans?1996 and 1997 Firebirds, and maybe more. GW
If you're willing to import, Holden (Aust) only just phased out the 3800 Buick donk it had been using in favour of the new HFV6. All Holdens are RWD (well, Commodores which used it anyway) and came standard with a 5-speed Gertrag box, although it seems auto was optioned in about 90% of cases.
A typical place to look might be:

GeeDubya, Firebird and CRAPmaro have had the 3800 Buick since 1996. I can't remember for sure but I almost think it was a mid-year change in '95.
