what kind is it and what model is it and howw good is it ? will it take a 350 engine in front of it without dying ? can i find a stock bellhousing to put a V8 in front of it when it had a 2.8L before ?

Its the non world class version. I've got a world class version and its handling my 350 so far. No a V6 T5 isnt recommended for a V8. It's not worth it. It wont bolt up without modifications either.

Borg-Warner makes the t5. The V6 version has different ratios and some say that it is a weaker trans as well. You can make the trans work with a V8 but as Kevin91Z said, it's not really worth it because in addition to the bellhousing, a custom clutch needs to be made because of the different spline count on the input shaft.
