I had a ta22 with 3tgt, a number of things had to be changed for the conversion, however very little needed changing for the engineering.
Engine sat on modified crossmember, I cant remember the details.
We used the stock gearbox that came with the 3tgt (W57 ?), using a custom GB mount and tailshaft.
Brakes were stock all round, and rather inadequate even though they were legal. WE did put in some good pads on advice from the engineer, he listed that as "brake upgrade" on the certificate !!
Once we put the FM intercooler in we had to move the battery to the boot to allow for the plumbing.
The stock ta22 diff held up for the time I had the car though we changed to a 3.7:1 centre cos the factory 4.1 was TOOOOOO short. (only 165 kmh top speed)the new center is a must, it was so short it wouldnt make full boost in second gear cos it wouldnt load it up enough !!
Car went well , but I wouldnt recomend the conversion to anyone, unless they were going to rebuild the 3t with forgies etc. They are simply too old and too fragile.
just about any conversion ( 4 cyl efi) will cost the same or similar, so you may as well put in a good engine (3sgte  )
Good luck
Matt
