Jon,...Thats an excellent question,...
IF one is
very gentle, a properly prepared and built 901 will work, however its not generally reliable for engines of this displacement, given the 7:31 & overhung 1st gear. Even with a billet intermediate plate and side cover, its not a beefy enough transmission for a healthy 3.0 (unless driven by your Mom).
I'd be using a re-geared '76 or '77 915 in there as in the long run, its going to be far cheaper.
Naturally, JMHO.
