See if he'll let you take some time doing a compression test. If it comes with all accessories, and cylinders all check out, go for it. It should be a direct bolt in, same bellhousing bolt pattern, but you will have to get some a/t brackets if they don't come with the six deal

One more question what about a drive shaft stock should fit right?

You would have to measure your transmissions to answer that one

A short tail TH350 will match the manual 3spd length more or less. The driveshaft will take up any in or out slack
