What type of transmission will fit in a 350 engine?

Many different transmissions can fit a 350 engine, depending on the year of the engine, the vehicle it's in, and what you want to achieve. There's no single answer. To give you a helpful answer, we need more information. However, here are some common examples:

* Automatic Transmissions: Common automatics that have been paired with 350s include the TH350, TH400, 700R4, 200-4R, and 4L60E (and various iterations of these). The specific fitment will depend on the bellhousing pattern of the 350 (some variations exist).

* Manual Transmissions: Many manual transmissions can be adapted to a 350, including the Saginaw 4-speed, Muncie M20/M21/M22, and Tremec T5/T56. Again, the bellhousing pattern is crucial for compatibility.

To determine which transmission will fit *your* 350, you need to identify:

* The year of the 350 engine: This helps determine the bellhousing bolt pattern.

* The vehicle the engine is (or will be) in: The vehicle's chassis and transmission tunnel will dictate the physical space available for the transmission.

* Your desired performance goals: A performance-oriented build might require a different transmission than a stock replacement.

Without this information, any suggestion is a guess and could lead to compatibility issues. Consult a transmission specialist or a parts catalog specific to your engine and vehicle.
