I was trying to help a kid on another site with his trans situation. He has a 2.8 V6 car and wants to swap in a 4.6. He wanted to use the same trans, I told him that a 60* V6 trans wouldn't bolt up to the 4.3 he wants to use since it's a 90* V6.

Some "old timer" decides to chime in and try to say that the degree of the V6 has nothing to do with it but couldn't go into any detail as to why the bolt patterns different. He then tries to use an example of a 60* V6 using a V8 bellhousing...this genius decides to use the old 3.3 motor...um...the 3.3 is a 90* V6

I try not to argue on the internet anymore, I'm far from an expert and there's always a chance of being wrong but :wtf:

He keeps saying the degree of the V6 is irrelevant and that it's not the reason why the bolt patterns are different.

Am I wrong here?
