Avi, I have done this conversion several times, quite easy actually. As for
the mounting plate, you can custom make one, I think someone on the list has
a diagram somewhere on a web page. There is no speedo calibration change,
so you don't need to worry about that, as long as you have the cable and the
elbow piece that connects it. The only other thing you might need is the o/d
shifter with switch at the top, and the wiring for them. Do you have them?
Let me know what other questions you have. Don't be intimidated, fairly
easy job.

Subject: 4 Spd. to OVD swap
Hi all,
I am possibly going to be converting from the 4 spd. to OVD. The tranny
that
I am getting is from the bellhousing to the end of the driveshaft, and will
include the speedo cable. I does not have the crossmember/rear mount thing.
Other then that, do I need anything else? ( I have searched the archives
but..)I have heard something about the speedo calib. being diff. ?! Any
thoughts?
TIA,
Avi
P.S. This is all for a '78.
