converting 2wd auto to 4sp w/car tranny
i'm wanting to do a swap this winter and wanted some feedback first..(so i can have all my "ducks" in a row before hand)
i'm wanting to change my 700r4 auto set up, to a 4sp...and hopefully try and find a 4sp saginaw or muncy to put in it anyone have any comments on this swap? i found a dude locally that said he'd sell me all i needed for my 4sp changeover for $100....bellhousing, clutch linkage, pedals etc... thanks

You need clutch pedal assembly including the actuating rods, boot for the floor, the z-bar that goes from engine to frame, the frame mount for the z-bar, clutch fork, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch assembly, shifter assem. (assuming floor). Plus you will have to put a hole in the floor for the clutch rod, and bolt the z-bar mount to the frame, and cut a hole in the floorboard. Move the tranny crossmember forward (4 speed is shorter) and lengthen your driveshaft.
This is what the clutch bracket looks like: http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/images/clutchbrkt.jpg I think that is all you need. EDIT If you plan to abuse the tranny, skip the Saginaw. They don't like it.

"the z-bar that goes from engine to frame, the frame mount for the z-bar"
is the z-bar really necessary? Quote:

well, if you don't have it, what is going to actuate the clutch fork?
