swapping a 2.8 to a 350

Hi, I am swapping out a 2.8 V6 from my 1986 camaro, and building a 350 to put in its place. It is a toy, and all of the electronics are going away. It has a 700r4 and I am finding out that this trans. will not bolt to my new motor. Is this correct? And should I find another 700r4 from a v8 or just go to a th350? I was told the early 700r4 has no electronics and would work fine after a pressure kit to assist with the tv cable problem. My 700r4 is rebuilt and would like to use it if it will fit. Thanks for any advice and help.

the bolt patern for your V6 trans is not the same as the V8. It wont work.
