No, the chevy vs BOP pattern is different.

One of two fixes, adapter plate or have an Ultra bell installed on trans.

The answer is yes, sort of. It depends on what trans he has in the cutlass. If its a 200r4 then it should bolt right up because supposedly all of them were cast with a dual bolt pattern housing. If its a BOP housing only trans, then he would have to run an adapter plate.

Wonder if the 6L80 will fit a BOP engine. Don't see any reason why it would but thought I'd ask. I'll probably change engine and trans in my older Riviera but a 6 sp behind that 430 ci Buick would be cool as well.

You would have to use the adapter plate, but I don`t see a reason why it would not work.

Seems it would be easier to just go with a Chev TH400. And I happen to know of a certain someone that has one avail.....
