as long as the bell housing matches up, it should work okay. you may want to go with a different torque converter though. i'm pretty certain that they're different from the 200 I6 to the 289 V8.
i've seen ponies with strong 289/302's using a c4. my first '66 had a c4 and it could handle the hp very nicely.
