NON 3rd GEN - TPI swap into 66 olds

ok so i got this 97 crown vic with less than 40 k on it and i hate it, so i want to sell it and put a tpi 350 and overdrive tranny in my 66 f85 and have a daily driver.

Did pontiac tpi motors differ from chevy ones? I dont think so

any idea where i can find TPI swap mounts for a first gen A body?

My only other idea is to turbo kit the 4.6L in the vic... its interior is a *tad better than the 66 (stripped and ripped)

All tpi motors are chevy motors, doesn't matter if it is in a Camaro or Firebird, they are the same

i thought it was an olds?
i know there was some way to get a tpi setup on a pontiac, but i don't know how. you're not putting a chevy into a highly valuable 442 are you?
