Chevy 205's should bolt right up to the turbo 350 (unless you have the figure 8 pattern), both the chevy and ford round 6 bolt pattern are the same, so just install a chevy 205 input gear into the ford 205 case and bolt it up...

The only chevy adapter I found they wanted as much as the advanced adapter. I was told the Ford had a stronger input.

Mines a 6 bolt, and I see the part your talking about but the peice that bolts between the Trans and the case is the difficult part, this is what I ended up getting

I like this option of mounting the two together with my short wheelbase.. He used the short 32 spline chevy input in the ford case and shortened the trans output shaft down to match, all with using 1.25" adapter.

Can you post a few pictures around the sides and the back of the engine? I am curious to see how much room there is for headers/exhaust.

Thanks
