Follow up on no rust Options

[kwlane]

Well, got the '76 yellow roller from sixnotfour and got the engine out of the rusty '72 tangerine. Now can rebuild a side shift tranny got recently with parts from the '72 tail shifter, dump the carbs for FI, and take everything of value off the '72 and put on the '76 once it gets painted. Should be done by next week.

I have to say the rusted one has a nice paint job, and a good hell hole. Sixnotfour pointed out where the mice had travelled from their nice nest up by the front of the tunnel inside that car, which explains the odd rust area up on the firewall, inside the firewall and inside the longs. Its a shame to dump the '72 but the yellow car is in great shape compared to those urine induced fatal flaws. Might open it up to see what it like inside the longs.

Does anyone know if the shocks, springs and strut be transfered from a '72 to a '76? From what I have read the lengths are slightly different? The '72 seems to have an autocross setup, pretty firm and tight.
