As far as I knew the REW motor doesn't swap into 1st Gen chassis using the "traditional" front cover method, so your goin to have to come up with a different mounting style. I also wasn't aware that there are Holly carb/manifold kits the bolt to the REW

A 12A front cover does fit an REW engine. Use a GSL-SE pan. Drill+tap a couple of holes in the rear plate for 6mm x 1.00.

The usual modified "13B into 12A chassis" front mount bar is required.

Tranny/starter is dependant on which flywheel you use. Stock FD requires T2 trans swap. To keep your current trans, get an S5 NA flywheel.

There's a bit more to it, but this gets you started.
