I have a 82 k10 with a 250 4.1L motor and I believe sm465 transmission. I am swapping both with a 350 sbc and 700r manual transmission. I know ZERO about any of this. Will the motor and transmission bolt up directly, and/or the transmission to driveshaft etc or will I need adapters? I appreciate the help/advice.

The powers to be, delete this message. I’m not doing the swap.
