Transferable parts are
Axle shafts, rear brake assembly, transmission, engine, drive shaft, 
front disc brake assembly including hubs, wheel rims, differential, 
pretty much anything that's not body related. Speedo and Tach are a 
different size I believe, plus the bugeye's tach is supposed to be 
mechanical. The later dual circuit brakes and separate clutch master can 
be retrofit with some modification to the mounting area. there will 
probably be a few other odds and ends that you can use.
