No

The input shaft is longer and narrower on the 4 banger. It is also alot weaker and first gear is way low.

This will cause another debate but,. The four banger trans will push up into the crank and can cause main bearing failure. I would never use the trans for that single reason. Yes you can make it work but why. You will just beat it apart and need another one later on. To me thats money wasted.

This should help you with the details of the differences - I had to shrink it quite a bit but it is still readable. To do the swap right, you need to change the V8 pilot for a sleeve with the right ID............

Yes many guys have done it and run them. How good a driver/shifter you are plays into their longevity too.
