To interchange, the input shaft, input shaft collar and throwout bearing will need to be transferred from one to the other. The transmission is otherwise nearly identical - its the overdrive unit (if part of the exchange) that is more robust for the 356 engine. Flywheels are different, such that
the pilot bearing is different, the clutch is larger on the 356, etc. So to put the 288 transmission behind the 356, need to put the 356 input shaft&collar into the 288 unit.

Make sense?

Translation, yes, you can fit a 288 transmission behind a 356, just be aware if overdrive attached to be gentle.
