you're going to need more than a custom driveshaft...much more.
Custom (or purchased) motor mounts, custom driveshaft, custom wiring or EMS - that swap is a total headache.
and also IIRC - the shifter location on the FD trans is in the wrong position and won't line up with the hole in the FC body, you'll need to use the FC tranny.

you can use a turboII transmission, you'll need a tII flywheel, clutch, slave cylinder, starter and a custom driveshaft to your stock rearend or a tII rearend. using the FD transmission would be a huge headache so just sell it and buy a TII tranny. you'll need custom motor mounts because i dont think anyone sells them. also, FD mounts are in a totally different spot than FC mounts. wiring... is gonna suck if you try to use the stock ECU. you can get a standalone, but then you'll have to convert to non sequential or single turbo.
if you havent bought the engine yet, i highly suggest you DONT. this swap costs a butt load and its really not worth it. you could almost get a 20b (three rotor) for the amount you're going to pay to get this to work. or, you could spend 1/3 of the price and get a turbo 2 engine, no custom fabrication to install, and plenty of headroom to still get up to 500hp.
