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...)
