If I were to guess, I'd say you'd need the tranny (possibly the transfer case), x-member, driveshaft (maybe) shifter & clutch pedal assy. And it should bolt right up. Never done one but I did stay at a holiday in express last night. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure someone who's actually done one will chime in.

No clutch pedal, although I think I still can get one. The cross member was cut to get the tranny out. Bolts were too rusted. Had a pending local sale on the tranny but havent heard from buyer in over a week.

I haven't driven mine but it looks like it will drive fine with the auto brake pedal. 8 Starion SHP, 87 mitsubishi van, , 81 galant g54bt, 78 lancer g54bt, 1965 Mitsubishi Debonair Deluxe 87 swb montero offroad pkg goin g54bt with sr locker 33x12.5 dual bouncy.
