Re: Striaght six 230
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

A/T, "automatic transmission". It's a question, theirs no dumb here. That's what forums are about

Re: Striaght six 230
You would have to measure your transmissions to answer that one

Re: Striaght six 230
A short tail TH350 will match the manual 3spd length more or less. The driveshaft will take up any in or out slack
