You'd need 325 engine/box, can use 320 box I think but why would you want too? Maybe prop? Easiest to get engine/box with the engine wiring loom attached as this just plugs into connector on bulkhead & 325 ECU, I think that's about it, do a search, there's loads of info on the site about it I;m sure!
