Default 2.8 to small block

i have a third gen that had the 2.8 and a m5. i sold the engine and trans to put in a small block. i have the block and a th400. i was told that if i use the th400 i would have to get a driveshaft made for it. can anybody tell me what else is involved in this swap. any help is appreciated (oh yeah i did a search and found nothing)

need the motor mounts, the bolt holes will be there just need V8 mounts. as far as the trans goes you will need the adapter for the TQ arm B&M sells one . i believe you will need a drive shaft made you can contact dennys driveshaft or someone about makeing you one .. you can use the stock electric fuel pump just of going carbed you will need to regulate it down to 4-5 psi , your going to need the radiator and tranny cooler/lines (no big deal to make your own) pretty much a drop in deal i swapped a TPI 350 into a 91 V6 camaro, except i kept it fuel injected for the guy and that was an easy swap
