Default Small block conversion questions

I have the buick 3.8 V6 in my 86 Regal. I have a GM crate motor to put into it with a Turbo 400 tranny.

1. Which engine mounts do I need to get it in there ?

2. Which tranny crossmember do I need ? (need one for dual exhaust too)

3. Will I need a different driveshaft ? (the car has the crappy 200 in it, not the 2004r or whatever it is)

Any other tid bits of info you can offer would be great.

Thanks

go to any auto parts store and get the v8 motor mounts they should bolt right in. the tranny crossmember go to a junkyard for that any one from a g body should fit. youll need a new tranny mount too the driveshaft yes have one made or junkyard one and replace the ujoints. if you dont know what a g body is heres a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_G_platform_(RWD)
