i think it will bolt right up or you just need to swap your bell housing with the 4 bangers

i'mnot sure on the bell housing.. it might be the same.. but i think you either need to change the input shaft to a v8 one or something with getting a custom made pillot bushing or something along those lines.

the bell hosing is just 4 bolts but the piolet bearing is a little more difficult much easier if you have a lift or access to one it bassicly needs to be cut out

your easiest bet might be to find a t-5 input shaft from a ford v8 then all you got to do is pull the bearing retainer and the bearing and put in the v8 input shaft.. then all you need is the bell housing.
