Brewers or Passion should be able to sell you a kit , Keisler has all the parts as well but I have had problems with them

If you don't have an aversion to eBay,  mopar3401  has kits on from time to time and at about $1,700 they're a pretty good deal.  I bought one and can't say enough about the service and quality.

P Gripper,

Is your car running with it in there currently ?   I have thought about doing this conversion myself.    What was not included in the kit and how big a project was it to get it all installed and hauling Azz ?     

What was the toughest part ?

Robb,

I haven't installed it yet, but have done conversions before.  My first was on a 57 Chebbie and an E-Body swap is way easier.  The only thing I didn't get was parts you'd want to buy yourself anyway, pressure plate, disk, throwout bearing, pilot bearing.  Everything else was there, flywheel, bellhousing, 833 tranny, shifter, linkage, pedal assembly, clutch linkage, fork, z-bar, pivots, tranny mount, tranny tunnel and one fantastic looking shifter with linkage.  All parts were cleaned and painted where appropriate.  The guy packed everything in a crate that I had to crowbar apart, real secure and sturdy.

Hope this helps,

P.G.
