Does anybody make an adapter plate to bolt a GM Turbo 350 transmission to the Honda B Series engine?

I am making a roadster and want to use a B series engine in the traditional front engine RWD configuration.

I have searched and this seems to be quite uncommon!

(I know an S2000 driveline would be easier but I have a shitload invested in B series parts and multiple complete engines so I am sticking with it)

 

Only problem that you might run into is that the B-series Honda engines rotate in the opposite direction as most other import engines out there. I don't know much about GM engines, so make sure that the donor GM motor rotates in the same way (i.e., make sure that both cranks rotate counterclockwise when the engine is running). If they aren't the same, the tranny will be rotating the wrong way.

 

good point. I'll check.

 

oooo...big trans for such a small motor...

 

Warning: I don't know what I'm talking about.
Having said that, if you rotate the rear transaxle so that
the left wheel is where the right one is and vice versa, the
rotation of the wheels will be in the forwards direction again.
I don't know if the gears are machined to work better in
only one direction or not.

Can't comment on wether you can run the 350 backwards. On
some manual trannies you may be able to do it since they're
somewhat symmetrical about their shafts. It might not work
due to the hyrdaulic coupling in an automatic trans.

I can recommend "How to Rebuild an modify your manual Transmission"
by Bowen. It deals with general theory, and then has specific chapters
on the 350 tranny, and on a tranny used in Hondas.

Have fun





cheaper + more effective to get a v8

Turbo 350 is overkill for that engine, I would find something a bit more fitting to the bellhousing and make a custom plate.

A RWD Ranger automatic seems a good candidate in terms of power handling and size.

 

That's a 3.2 liter v6 pictured. I should have pointed out that this wasn't related to b series motors. T350 is most reliable cost effective.
