Look for a metal tag on the side of the transmission. That will tell you. Hope that helps! Jim

I doubt if the car had anything but a low level automatic or T-5 manual and they will not take the power generated by a 350. Look at swapping both the engine and the trans. In 85, the 350 was an available power plant.
