*Console hump (can cut it into repo console) *Radiator? *Tailshaft(debatable) *clutch linkages *shifter stick *gear knob *accelerator linkages? *carby correct part number
Anything else Aus specific?
...You'll search till hell freezes over ever attempting to gather up the myriad items that make up the "clutch linkages". An absolutely complex array of special bracketry and bits, from RH firewall to left rear of engine via a shouldered cross shaft, with the special clutch pedal/pivot levers transmitting it all down to the clutch fork...You're facing an horrendous exercise, but best of luck and good hunting. ...also, the accelerator linkages are standard items to any V8 HQ. The linkage from the firewall pivot to the carby might be the only foreign item. Edited by user Sunday, 30 September 2018 3:50:29 PM(UTC)

There is nothing special about HQ Muncie box, but they are instantly indentifiable by certain people. ...always thought the Rockcrusher was 31 spline and a "standard" Muncie was 28. No. Rockcrusher name is from the noise the straighter cut gears make on the M22. |

As for the previous post, I luckily have a complete reproduction clutch linkage set up from pedal to fork. I have a V8 accelerator linkage set up but I don't have the angle that the firewall bracket is bent to. If anyone has one that can get the correct angle for me, that would be awesome

Don't have original Alternator still on your motor do you....or know correct part number? I have the original alternator's(Lucas) on both car's A/C. You will need a bosch alternator no A/C plus bosch regulator. Plus the larger dia pulley and fan are 350 only. (see tables)
