t56 trans swap

Has anyone swapped a t56 trans into their early pontiac 67-79? I was wondering if I could put one into a 67 firebird with a 67 400 block? Will it bolt up?

filler

Is it ok to place filler on top of epoxy primer or should it only be used on bare metal. Or does it depend on which type of filler used or how thick it it used?
