Depends if the ZF was originally behind a V8 or a Tdi.

They have different belhousing pattern and AFAIK different torque converter and flex plate. If it was V8 the bellhousing will have the same bolt pattern as your V8 and flex plate same bolt pattern as your crankshaft.

The bolt pattern of the LT230 did not change with different gearboxes/transmissions.

Best to get all shift linkages (incl t/case), kickdown cable, brackets, etc with the ZF if you can. You also need the spud shaft that goes between the ZF and LT230 - need later one with longer splines if the LT230 has the cross drilled input gear (recommended).
