I have a sideshift core for sale. It came out of my 73 and has a crunchy 2nd gear.

And you will need the following to make it complete:
Shift linkage from shifter back.
Firewall bushing to go from tail to sideshifter rod diameter.
Late engine bar, with solid end mounts.
Late motor mounts and brackets
Late muffler bracket, I believe
Pretty sure that's all.

You don't need the later muffler bracket.

You'll need to find a late style shifter, shift rod and engine mount bar (Actually, not that hard to find). I'm going to have to check, but I think I have everything you'd need, including the tranny. The only thing you will need to purchase in addition will be new bushings and the special conversion bushing.
