For one you need a custom drive shaft.

Why did you choose the TII tranny?

Probably because he is putting in a TII motor.

It would be far easier to do an s4 turbo drivetrain swap in an 88.

Here are some pics of the cross members. the TII is a beefer cross member! All you need to do is pick up a TII cross member and mounts and your good to go! Well you will need a drive shaft built for it!
