Ive came to the conclusion that I'm going to just swap my presant engine and tranny. I've searched around and need some tech info. Does nebody know the type of tranny in a 2wd/auto V6 rodeo? Thanks in advance,,,,jt

While you're waiting for a reply here you may want to take a look at Engine Swaps (Performance Swaps).

i didnt find anything about chevy v8 swaps in that. thanks but the info im most needing is what kind of tranny do i have. i think its a 4l60e but not 100% i can pretty much weld the 350 combo right in and get the drive shaft how ever long. no big big deal, i couldnt find anything on the overall strenth of the rearend he!! i cant find a whole alot of anything on a rodeo to be honest. i have plenty of room for the v8 and room for the tranny. rad is big enuff to cool everything, ecu not needed, exhaust any shop can do. i know the chevy 90* along with some caddy engines will fit upto the tranny in it, but i dont like this tranny at all! i love the look of the rodeo and the 3.2 is pretty darn strong but i honestly feel i can get better mileage from a f/i v8 and pass emissions. shift linkage shouldnt be to big a problem, could as last resort, just bolt a b'n'm in there. ive done a v8 swap before to a s10 only problem was cooling and room from firewall , + the headers were a PAIN but this swap looks alot easier because less the 4wd i had to work around. this rodeo is 2wd and will be lowered about 2 or 3 " just to get better handling, easy with turning the torsion bars and rear blocks. its just the issue of tranny i have now and if im going to have to get a rearend built. im not going insane with hp either most 300 thats at MOST i will put in it.

ok yes 4L30E this is a pretty tuff tranny isnt it. does anybody know what other GM/chevy has this tranny?
did some more research found out the rearend is a dana 44 i know this is a strong enuff rearend and easy to regear if needed!! i think this swap is going to be a great improvment over stock. power,emissions,better fuel economy. needs to warm up to so i can do it. i need everything drawn out before i start something this involved.

I have to replace the engine in my 2001 Rodeo. Does anyone know what other types of vehicles have this same engine? I have the 3.2L V6.

I know the honda passports use the same 3.2L V6 engine. Isuzu built the passport for honda.
