PLEASE help me 700r4 install problem

Hello all,
I am not a mechanic but I ordered a new tranny for my 89 RS. It is a 700r auto. The mechanic says it does not fit "the bellhousing is too big".

He says this one sent is for the v8 and my car is v6. However, everything I can find says they were all the same in 89 and my friend at PepBoys that ordered it says it should fit.

Any help would be appreciated!

the v6 and v8 bell housing patterns are different....doesn't matter what Pep Boys says. If you have a v6 and you got a v8 tranny, they won't bolt up to each other.
