Can you find out if the gearbox has the turbo gearbox mounts or is it the trimatic/aussie 4 speed bolt pattern (will be better if you can bolt the T700 up without an adapter). Theres a non registered VN here with a old 308 in it (running petrol) non ecu style, built just for burnout comps and it's a beast

yeah like he said if it's the old trimatic/aussie 4 speed pattern you could have some issues with the transmission. If the manual gearbox with it is the old 4 speed manual then it'd probably be a better bet using an adapter and sticking with the T700 auto you've already got. Running an old 4 speed manual would probably require an egineers cert because you'd need to modify the gearbox crossmember.

Gas is a really great idea for this sort of thing because if it's running any emissions gear you can just rip it straight off, no need for a cat either. So you'll have tough as old school muscle in a VN body.
