Yes it will.

Are you bolting it to a transmission to make it heavier, so it will serve as a better boat anchor?

A 260 will run, but that's about it.

Not known around here of being the engine of choice

Never thought much about a 260, but think it uses the BOP bolt pattern like other SBO. Should work unless your TH350 has the Chevy mount.

Every single Olds V8 from 1964-1990 has exactly the same bellhousing bolt pattern.

In that case it has a Chebby pattern.

The only way it will work is if it is one of the relatively rare dual-patterns.

There are adapters, but TH350s are kind of a dime a dozen, and there's not a lot of torque behind a 260, so you might do better just getting a junkyard BOP model.
