No, l think the tranny will be fried if you drop in the Cobra motor. Get the t-56 which is the Cobra trans. Also, if you don't have a 8.8" rear end, go ahead and switch to 8.8".

Yep, your gonna warp, bend and peel that tranny on your first hard take off --  T56 it....you'll love it anyway and like StangLover wrote...if you don't have the 8.8" rear, switch to it.  I'm not sure about the shaft, but you may have to change that as well, although I think it's the same, just make sure.
