Manifold adaptor for turbo

Hi guys, I am thinking about doing a single turbo swap into my carbed 83. I need an excuse to rebuild a Garrett t3 turbo that's lying around. My only question is this, is there an adaptor plate or something of sorts that is made to fit the manifold inlet side for the t3? It's a square four studded port. I have the manifold that it was previously bolted to and I guess I could try cutting the square port on the manifold off and fabbing something but it's cast iron and old so I'd rather not.

Thanks guys,
Chris

Thanks for the response Project89, could you please elaborate more on why a single t3 would not work?
Thanks,
Chris

Too small of a turbo Chris, and he's recommending two of the same size....
