82 Camaro w/2.8 4spd...SBC swap

Im picking up a complete 82 Sport Coupe, 2.8, 4spd, Ttop for $200.
I don't know anything about the 4 speeds, like is it possible to use it with a V8? I want to go with a 6 speed eventually, but moneys tight (what else is new lol) and I dont want to go with an auto, I already have 2 with AT's. I have a few different engine options, like a warmed over L98 TPI or a 355 with a holley 4bbl.
Little info would really help

The tranny can't be used as the bellhousing is a completely different shape.

well, at least I have the pedal assembly. So I guess I gotta try to find a V8 t5 or a 4th gen 6 speed. 93-97 6 speed trannys will bolt to a non LS motor right?

I think so, I know there is a difference in the shaft(can't remember what it's called0 in the tranny from LT1 and LS1 T-56s.
