A V6 T5 wouldn't live for long behind a 350.

First, you're doing a V6 to V8 swap. Read the Important/Useful Information sticky at the top of this forum for more information on that.

For using a (weaker) V6 T5 behind a V8, search on the Transmission/Drivetrain forum. It's been discussed many times, it isn't straight-forward, but if you don't plan on thrashing the car, the transmission will "work".

I'd really rather not get into it here on this forum.
