Exclamation 1983 C-8000 NA to Turbo Swap

In the middle of doing this swap. I got the new motor dropped in yesterday. I'm not doing this voluntarily. My engine blew up about a 100 miles from home and I have been driving everyday for the past 2 weeks trying to fix it. Today I have to tackle the throttle/shift linkage. I have an automatic Alison MT653 transmission. Does anyone have a photo of the shift linkage for a 3208 T with an automatic transmission? Or could anyone tell me what mods I need to make?

Any help with anything would be greatly appreciated!

Actually got it to fire up yesterday. It was a big relief. I took the radiator out to have more room to work with and forgot to take photos of where all of the hoses went. Does anyone know or have any pictures that would help me? Also, what kind of air cleaner would work for the turbo engine? My cleaner from my 3208 NA will not work.
