in answer to your question it would have to be same length as well as bolt pattern which means if it came out of a 305/350 it would bolt up however the torque converter would need to be for a 4.3L due to balance otherwise it would shake like heck when running.

correction after looking this model up on line this is a electronic controlled trans which will need a computer to operate it . Yours is obd1 and the 5L50 is OBD2 unless you have a computer for it won't work at all. The model Cadillac that this was used on does not have the same bolt pattern either.
