Yes, SBC, BBC, I6, 4.3L, LS serries, duramax, 6.2/6.5L diesel all share the same bolt pattern. I know there are more those are just the ones I am aware of. There are some spacing differences between the flexplate and torque converter when going from a old vs new style trans.
Drive shafts between TH700, TH200, L460E and T56 are all the same.
Also 4L80E and TH400 and possibly 6L80E are the same drive shaft.

The DB2 serries mechanical pump is limited to 4400RPMs.
I have ran my 6.5L into the speed limiter, it screams.
Electronic DB4 (which you will avoid at all costs) are limited to 3400-3600RPMs.

The 6.5 is close to the same weight as a small block chevy.
The SBC with TH700/4L60E would be around 600lb.
The 6.5L with transmission would be under 750lb.
If you want to lose several hundred pounds:
remove the rear seat
Remove the spare
Do a lithium battery replacement:
