It's a straight bolt in swap, if I remember correctly. I think all you need is a converter and a new kickdown cable, and the dipstick. I think all the other measurements are the same.

you are correct, super easy swap. Crossmember, driveshaft and yoke, etc. all work. You will need to mod the shifter to get low gear, or buy a shiftworks conversion for your stock shifter, or most any cable type aftermarket shifter will work.

What type of shifter are you going to use? They make universal linkage kits.

If you are going to use a stock type shifter, that bracket that attatches to the trans can be found in almost any wrecking yard or tranny shop. If you are going aftermarket shifter, most come with a bracket and cable set up. Let us know how it goes.:cheers:
