May need to move the battery to the boot aswell as its on the other side. Some fuel pump and wiring work? efi and carby systems are different. V8s also have 3.08 diff gears from stock compared to VLT 3.45's

Leave the diff, the gears are no issue, if you want later on change the crown and pinion to a gear that suits you. done plenty of these conversions
