It will bolt to the trans but it needs a little more mods to the engine mounts

i'm sure the trans-dapt motor plates would work. You'd just use the plates between your LSX engine and the original SBC mounts. I believe the trans will bolt right up.

Yeah, your trans may have one bellhousing bolt that isn't used, but it should mate right up. Should be an easy swap, hardest part being wiring, but even that isn't particularly challenging if you're handy. No more difficult then installing a remote start.
