I can't tell you about things like tailshaft length, but you won't break that transmission easily, unless there's something weak--like badly worn bearings--inside

As I know on 727 transmission bell housing there are different bolt pattern depending on small block or big. The distance between centers of two upper lugs for SB trans is 7 and 1/2 inch and for BB is probably 7 or 7and1/4inch
