Yes you could. But the non-HD version cannot handle the extra power from a supercharged engine.

my.
son has been running a stock grand prix tranny in his gtp for a while. the tranny is virtually the same. the big difference is the axles are bigger in the gtp. but his will stand up to the power of the supercharger engine

You can use a non HD trans. But here is what you need to do. Remove the diff, diff cover, and output shaft on your HD trans. And install those on your non HD trans. Your done. It'* now a HD trans.

Make sure you have a compatible year, older ones have external PN switch, and newer ones have internal. Other then that the case is generally the same. You may need to transfer the mounts, but that is no big deal.
