I didn't say it wouldn't work. There are a lot of variables, any Chevy transmission of that era will fit. You have other things to consider, do you have the correct driveshaft, crossmember, bellhousing, flywheel, shifter rods & arms. Some shifter rods may connect the column and the trans but it's possible they may not. Some of the later 292 flywheels used larger bolts than the smaller 6's & V-8's.
