Default V6 vs V8 4l60e

My trans recently went out and I'm looking for a cheap throw in right now. There are several v6 f bodies at the junkyard all with autos. Are the tranmissions the same as so far as gearing? And are the bolt patterns different from the LT1 and LS1 4l60e's?

The bolt pattern on the V8 is different from the V6, gearing is the same.

Damn, I guess there are no easy fixes.

Craigslist around here in Dallas has a bunch of 4L60e's going for 300-500 bucks.

That's the problem, I'm having the original rebuilt for much less than that (uncle's trans shop), but it's gonna take awhile, so I just want something to get it on the road for now so it just doesn't sit around.
