74HCT244 UART level translator, how would the circuit look?

I am building a UART 3.3V to 5V Level translator between a Raspberry Pi and a ATMega328.

The 74HCT244 is my choice of translator but I can’t find a good example of of hooking it up.

  1. Am I right that I should power it with 3.3V(VCC)?
  2. Output enabled(Grounded)
  3. 3.3v TX on Input 1.This should Output 1 at 3.3V to the ATMega328 that can work with 3.3V logic.
  4. 5v RX on Input 2 with Output Enabled. Connecting Output 2 at 3.3V to the RPI.

Number 4 to me is the bit I am not certain about. If I run the VCC at 3.3V will the input pins accept voltages above VCC.
