 Due to having a 60 degree bellhousing as well as only one manual option, RWD transmission options are a bit limited unless you're willing to put in some more effort or money to make something better work. Due to having a 60 degree bellhousing as well as only one manual option, RWD transmission options are a bit limited unless you're willing to put in some more effort or money to make something better work.

 +Keep in mind if you're doing a swap, especially with a manual trans, that there are quite a few different flywheel/flexplate options that you could have on your 3800.
