it's easy enough,the brake bar is a fiddle when fitting the manual pedal box.

you'll need a spigot bearing not sure what size as there are two types so check 1st.

you'll need a flywheel,clutch,manual pedal box with master cylinder and fluid pipe to fluid bottle.
the metal pipe across bulkhead,slave cylinder and hose,manual box and shifter ,propshaft,

think that's it ....

what engine is it ?i have loads of 4-pot conversion parts or can help with some of the list ..
