Have a chat to Marks adaptors, they supply everything including interface wiring looms, T'case adaptors and all the appropriate sensors. Make your own engine mounts as l didnt like the look of the ones supplied by Marks. The manuals he provided with the kit was fairly comprehensive and for someone like myself who has only average mechanical skills, l could do most of the work myself. With the T700 auto, l believe you need to pull the output shaft out of the tranny and swap it with a new shaft provided in the Marks kit so it can mate up with the T'case. I used the holden fan and had to fab up a new fan cowling aswell.
I got the engine from ebay for $1800, that was a VS II with 70'000 ks
A VN computer and new loom for $500 from a wrecker in Melb.
Interface loom, T'case adaptor, G'box adaptor, output shaft, Temp sensor, O2 sensor all associated wiring from Marks for approx $1700 l think (sorry, cant remember exactly). If you get someone to fit it, add approx $3000 or do most of it yourself and save the bucks.
At a rough guess, l think it would have cost about $5000 total' thats including the motor and auto tranny, as l sold of all the bits l didnt need and got my money back on the engine and trans.
I rang up Marks and had a chat with them, had a lot more luck that way. I explained what l was doing exactly and they pretty much told me what l needed.
As for pics of the engine mounts, sorry but ur gonna have to wait. Just installed 355 stroker and building new mounts. May have photos available in the next cupla weeks. Will consist of struts (obviously), a piece of CR tube and a std nissan rubber control arm bush
