Yes, as long as you use the small block engine stands in the front holes.

You used a small block engine, 700r4, and the front set of holes with small block stands ? The stands are bolted down with the factory holes and all three bolts each ?

I've done this exact swap an the driveshaft worked as is.

Aren't there a couple of different factory three-speed transmissions? I know mine has a non-syncronized 1st gear and I thought I read where it was shorter than the other available three-speeds? (I don't have the numbers handy at the moment......hopefully someone else might?)
