take an afternoon and go for a hike at the local U-pull, tell the guy which one you want....prices are on the board there~

ok and what about swapping for a better one does that mean i have to do an engine swap as well for instance the one i had was a 3 speed im looking for something with more gears not sure if thats even possible

bring a tape and a notepad....electrical considerations are usually the killer~ either pick the same yr/model to harvest the parts from or count on the full complement of all things ignition and fuel related~

personally wanted a 5 speed for my '73 Datsun 610...was told a 280sx five would do....it worked alright but had to blacksmith a new shift handle and was off of plumb by 15 degrees....but worked and gave me an opportunity to put a new/used clutch in there too~

if it physically fits, we can make it work...now if it's an automatic that depends on it's own module (like lexus does) then we are in trouble...unless it's like a turbo 350 that does not depend on signals from the brain to operate~
