Chevy 350 to a Buick transmission

Does anyone know how to find out if a Chevy 350 will bolt directly to my "super turbine 300" transmission from a 1966 Buick Skylark (currently with the 300cu motor)...If the bolt patterns match up?

Actually, some of the TH 350's had a dual pattern case that would fit Chevy and the other GM's. The T300 did not come in that bolt patern as far as I remember. The question of if it would work if it bolted up, the answer is yes. The problem is that it won't bolt up properly.

If this has the same pattern as the Nailhead engine, there are a couple different places on the internet that offer engine/transmission swap adapters.
