I believe it would fit since the dimensions of the 356 and the 327/288 are pretty much identical. I operated my 356 engine with a distributor form a 288/327 engine also so that will match up. The trans is a different matter since the input shaft on the 356" trans is larger unless the fly wheel/pressure plate is interchangeable between the two engines. Not sure about bellhousing either. I will leave it to more knowledgeable people here to either confirm or deny my assumptions.
