It will fit, but you won't have much useful. The V6 trannies are not built the same internally as the V8 t-5's fom what I've been told. You probably need the World Class t-5 if you've built up a 350 any. Just be advised GM didn't think they were stronger enough to ever offer them on a V8 other than the 305. You can do a search to see how to identify which model you've got, I'm running one of those on my383 SuperRam right now.

Good Luck!!

Guess there's a reason for that.... like supply and demand; mostly demand.
