V6 to V8 transmission

I have change my engine from a V6 2.8 to a V8 350. Now I realized that my transmition doesn´t fit.
I would like to know if someone has tried to use the transmition on a V8, and if theres is any kind of adapter to use it.

I am from Argentina and here is very difficult to fin a TH700 to replace my old one. That´s why I am trying to adapt it.

Thanks!

re: V6 to V8 transmission

There is no adapter becuase people don't do it. The V6 trans will burn up within a few hundred miles of being behind a V8. Sorry to say you will have to get a V8 700R4 or T56.
