will this v6 T5 work for my car

ok i found a great deal on a t5 from a v6 with all the parts i would need to convert my auto for 200 now i told the guy i want the tranny but i talked to the guys at work and they said that the v6 t5 would tear up easily when put together with my 305. i would research but i have to get back to this guy about the t5 and i dont have time to research when at work. im actually writing this before my boss comes back from his smoke lol so ignore the grammar if there is any. thanks guys

Yes. The V8s are 90 degrees, the 6s 60 degrees. The spline count is also different, 26 vs 14. Some members have apparently modded a V6 to fit; however, I wouldn't waste my time. Save your money and do the swap right the first time.
