The tranny should be a T5. It isn't really a bad tranny, but they aren't the strongest tranny made. The most powerful motor GM put them behind was a 305 in a Camaro. If you are running a stock 350, too much abuse may cause it to go out. If you are running a built motor, look for another tranny.

The bellhousing off the 4.3 will bolt directly to a SBC. Seveal members on the board have done this swap, i would do a search on it if it is working.
