Ok, I know there will be haters "Don't Do That" or "Why Would You Go Backwards"?

Anyways, I have already bought a 5-speed tail shift trans. So I need to know what are all the parts I will need to hook up the tail shift trans into my '73 side shift trans car?

Any info will help.

Thanks,
korijo

And you need the early shifter, firewall bushing, engine mount to bar bracket. engine mounts at the end of the bar in addition to all of the other parts. Think about the wisdom of this decision. Do you plan to keep the car forever? This will make the far very undesirable to any knowledgeable buyer.
I have most if not all of the parts to do you backwards conversion. Convert the tail shift trans to a side shift and do it right. My $.02.
No hate. trying to help you make a good decision.
