Options for synchro'd first?

[closer9]

My long term goal is the A833 sitting in the garage, but until I do something with the underdash A/C I'm going to keep the 3 on the column, plus if it's not a daily driver it's kinda fun.

So, I recently picked up an 82 LWB for power steering and power disc brakes. (I posted a pic the other day, but screwed up my description and a mod moved it to the square body forum).

I've decided when it comes time to do the cross member swap, I'll pull the 283 and freshen it up a bit (only has 78K miles), and would like to find a way to add a first gear synchro while everything else is out. I'm not sure what years they added this though. I'm assuming, if I find the right box, it's just a box for box swap.

Thanks...

BTW, here is where I am with the 82. Ran out of steam today. Might try again tomorrow if I have time.


Even found a few good parts on it for the K5.
