I dont think they will bolt up.
the 4 banger tranny has a smaller diameter bellhousing than the buick.
sorry

Nope! Not even close to bolting up. I have a turbo 350 behind mine. Someone like advanced adaptors might make an adaptor but I have personally never seen one.

Advance Adaptors is not your friend. I was looking for an adapter to make my stock trans run with anything, and they pretty much told me to get a Jeep.

Seems odd though that the automatic on a LUV is a TH200, at least according to Chilton

The bolt pattern on the Buick is known as BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac & some Caddys)
A BOP Turbo 350 will be cheaper at the wrecking yard than for Chevy 350. They come in 2 lengths. There's a long (9" tailshaft housing) or short (6" tailshaft housing).
