Default 5.3 carb into foxbody help

I know this has been answered a million times, however i used the search thread and didnt retrieve the answers i was looking for so i was hoping some of you guys could help me out.

Ive grabbed a 5.3 from a local junkyard along with a kmemeber with LSX mounts to mount into my 89 foxbody. I plan on going carbd with possibly a cam swap. My question is what all is needed to mount a th350 trans to the engine and get it to working without major upgrades, also for fuel do i just grab a regulator and fuel pump and go from their this is my first swap and id appreciate it if someone chimed in, thanks guys

motor combination as follows
5.3/Cam swap
Full Exhaust
TH350 4.10 gears/4000 stall
looking for 6.80-6.90 on motor

Pace performance makes a flex plate and a spacer that you need to make the turbo350 work. Fuel pump and regulator just like you guys would use on any carb set up.upsetp

That's what I used in mine. Keep in mind, you need to use a normal th350 converter with the traditional length snout with that kit.
