I HAVE A 83 BU WAGON THAT HAS A BLOWN 350 MOTOR WITH HEADERS, FLOWMASTER AND 350 transmission IN IT NOW. WILL A LS MOTOR WORK WITH THIS SETUP? IF SO ANY DRAW BACKS? THANKS FOR ANY FEED BACK.

Yeah the 350 will bolt up to the LS engine but you're gonna need one of these

IS THERE A DOWN SIDE TO USING THIS TRANS WITH A LS MOTOR. WILL THE HEADERS ALSO WORK?

Headers will work, only thing is you will have 1 open bolt hole at the back of the block, thats all.

Like deuce said, one of 6 bell housing bolts will be missing, but everyone does it w/out any issues that I've seen, so I don't see a problem.
If you didn't want to run a flexplate spacer/adapter you can buy a converter made just for TH trannys to mate up to a LSx...They do cost a decent amount of $ though.
