Thanks everyone for helping me with the front end questions! Now a new question, I am switching over to a 4speed and have a saginaw trans. I have to come across a shifter,linkage,flywheel,and bellhousing. I have found a reproduction flywheel on e-bay that will work on 10.5 or 11 inch clutch that has the 2-3/4 hole for the crank. I think that will work? looking for the bellhousing on the other hand is to me being a chore! There are 3 on e-bay and the sellers all say they are for my car but are all different part #'s any help? also I was told to get 67-69 firebird clutch linkage and 68-74 nova pedals. Thanks for any help Tom

Thanks for your help,found a saginaw trans,bellhousing,clutch kit and flywheel. just the trans has all the shift rods but no shifter or shift housing. Will a muncie shifter work? I see a ton of them on e-bay or do I need a saginaw only shifter?

You will need a Saginaw shifter. The Muncies and T-10/ST-10 has the reverse lever in the tailhousing.

thanks the donor end helps, I ordered the clutch/brake pedals from e-bay and they have the linkage kit also, now that you let me know the donor end. The only thing that has me stumped now is finding what shifter to use I have a saginaw 441 with all the levers and rods but summit and jeggs say they have no listing for a 74? Any thoughts
