will a V6 cat. fit on a V8?

I have a gutted cat and single straight pipe on my 305 TBI, and have relieved a parted out V6 of its cat, should I need it to pass our emissions test.

Question is, will this part a) physically fit, and b) be internally compatable with the the 305.

Fit? No. But, it could be adapted, I suppose.

It will be rather restrictive, but as long as it isn't asked to put out too much power during the emissions test, it should do an okay job of cleaning up the gases.

One intended for it would probably do a better job, though, especially since you don't know where that V6 has been.

Thanks for that.

Got it for no money, so I don't mind throwing it!
