Newbie trans conversion question Options

[moparrob]

So I am doing a 914-6 conversion, which will in part consist of converting my trans from a 914/901 side shifter (1974) which is a push-type throwout arm and bearing - to a 911/901 based side shifter with a pull-type throwout arm. As you know, the 911/901 is a tail shifter, never came as a side shifter, and has the throwout arm pivot point in a different location than the 914. So here is my question:

Is it possible to take a (1970) 911/901 case (which has the correct pivot location) and convert it to a side shifter by using all the 'good' parts off of my 914 side shifter and installing them in the 911 case?

In other words, can I disassemble my 914 box, install all the guts, the side shifter mechanism, and the later tail cone onto an early 911 case? Are there any further modifications which need to be performed?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
