    the standard trimatic tailshaft will fit the T350, and the box will bolt straight to your vs motor no adaptor plate needed. just get a gearbox x-member, sort the shifter out and maybe a speedo cable (its been a while since i did this swap)

    4 banger turbos with bov's will just cry when they hear it, because they can never have it.
