Tail shift to side shift
 

Had enough of my terrible tail shift ,so i want to swap to a side shift,just can't get it to work well and it ruin's my fun.Have changed everything that can be changed still no good,the only option left to me is to change to a side shift can some one tell me what it takes to do this ,
Thanks

Stuff you'll need from the 73+ donor car:
- Side-shift transmission
- Complete shift linkage
- Gear shift lever
- Motor mount bar
- Solid outboard motor mount brackets (between the bar and the chassis)
- Rubber "hockey puck" inner motor mounts
- Brackets for holding the mounts to the engine
- Adapter bushing for the firewall hole

You will probably also want to figure out a way to hold the plastic/rubber boot from the side-shift rear shift rod onto the firewall of your car. The flange on the firewall is a different shape.

It's a good idea to replace all of the bushings and the two cone screws in the linkage while you've got everything apart--luckily, we sell a bushing kit specifically for early cars converted to side-shift! You'll probably want new CV joint gaskets, and while you're in there a clutch replacement is probably not a bad idea. (Yes, the words "while you're in there" often add up to money...)

I have the complete shifter with all linkage & the conversion bushings if you need 'em - email <mojac007-web at yahoo.com>
