Here is what I have with pictures and commentary:

A few years ago I acquired a late model engine, trans and transaxle in a
trade. The person had no detail on what kind of car it came out of. I
assume it is a late model because it has the stubby axles. The engine
itself was seized so I salvaged what I could and scraped the rest.
Hopefully from the pics you can tell me what year the trans and dif is? The
input shaft turns and the axle yokes turn when I spin the input shaft. If I
look I might have a pic of the serial number of the engine - maybe.

Here is what I have:
Manual trans and diff - still attached to a cross member - see pics
axles
clutch fork and shaft - see pic

I need the rest:
Shifter, any other linkage
hopefully you can tell from the PICS anything else I might need.
