Re: stick to auto swap
You will need these parts as well.
auto flex plate auto starter radiator with trans fluid cooler torque converter lockup kit you will need to have the drive shaft shortened correct drive and driven gears for trans so speedometer works correctly

Re: stick to auto swap
I think the 700R4 crossmember bolt holes are father rearward than on your stock auto crossmember.
Make or buy trans cooler hard lines Proper TV cable and carb bracket. Set-up is critical! Dipstick & housing and a way to mount the housing to the engine T/C dust cover Modulator connection to manifold vacuum source Back-up light switch Park/Neutral safety switch Your stock 2bbl engine will work best with a stock lock-up T/C. Transtar is a good source. See page 24 here: http://www.transtar1.com/download.as...talog_2012.pdf I bought a TH350 (non-lock-up) T/C from them for approx $65 exchange. It has a 4-year/48,000 mile warranty.

Re: stick to auto swap
Also you will have to shorten the drive line.
