and spigot bearing and prop shaft and (optional)engine wiring loom, and centre consol, and clutch master/slave cylinder.

Did mine yesterday. If the car your converting is an auto take pedal box and clutch cylinder from the donor. Just read the original post, ignore that bit of useless info. A new spigot bearing, press fit into the end of the crank, manual flywheel and clutch/pressure plate, I'm not sure if the lower removable bit of the bell housing (engine side) is the same, you need to take it off anyhow to get at the torque convertor bolts so swap if its different to the manual one.
