Default Pontiac engine to T56 trans

Ok I'm tired of the good ole "corperate" engine in my 93 T/A so I'm going to put in a real pontiac engine in it. Now the question I have is can my T56 be hooked up to a pontiac engine? I know alot of you are thinking I'm nuts but correctly done a true pontiac engine is really hard to beat. The torque they make is out of this world!!!!! Plus a Chevy should have a chevy engine and a Pontiac should have a pontiac engine. FYI no I'm not getting rid of the engine because it's the numbers matching engine. I've been building poncho's for 30+ yrs now.

Yup, the new Indian Adventures 608 cubic inch block or a punched out 455 (540 cid)

I'd change the input shaft out for the Ls1 style, chop off the bearing retainer and bolt on the adapter plate that allows you to use the BOP 4 speed passenger car bell housing.
