350 TPI w/ 4 speed ???

After I pulled out my 350 TPI for my LT1 swap, me and my buddy are deciding to put the leftover TPI in our 2.8 87 Camaro beater. I have all of the wiring, harness etc. The 87' has the 2.8v6 with a 4 speed standard. Will the TPI bolt up to this ? and if it does how long will the 4 speed last under the torque of the TPI ??

no. The v6 is a 60 degree motor and the v8 a 90 degree motor. The transmissions will not work.

you could use the trans that was mounted to that 350 TPI motor right? since you're using the new T56 that came with the LT1?

Ya I guess were gonna do that, we wanted to use the 4 speed but since it wont bolt up right, were gonna use the 700r4.
