<VV> EM auto to a stick

[NicolCS at aol.com]

You might want to check the VV archives, this one (exactly the same years  
involved) came up a couple of months ago on VV and was discussed  extensively 
and I wrote about it in the "Techlines" column of the  Communique just after 
that.
 
Here's the short story.  It's not too bad but there are lots of  little 
pieces to put in.  Here's a list of the big stuff.  I won't  mention the little 
clips and grommets
Diff should be '64 style to permit use of the transverse spring
Any matching clutch set (flat finger/bent finger PP, flat/stepped  flywheel, 
long/shortTO)
Pilot bearing
Bellhousing appropriate for your engine (164 cid different than 145  cid)
Rear suspension subframe must be changed or modified to accept longer  
transmission
Any 61-65 4-sp trans, though 64-5 has better ratios and durability
Trans support bracket
Clutch pedal mechanism, TO to foot (lotsa pieces)
Shifter mechanism, hand to trans
Throttle bracket at trans
MT style dash trim plate
 
Hope that helps,
Craig Nicol

I have a question. I have a '64 auto almost ready for the road. The other day 
I  was looking at my '63 conv. and thinking the four speed would be really 
nice to  have in the '64. My question is how complicated and how long would it 
take to  transfer everything over to make the auto into a 4 speed? I already 
know I would  have to get a '64 transaxle. Thanx in advance.<unsnip>
