Auto to Manual Trans swap 700 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Aaron on  Sun Dec 3 14:56 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I am planning on swapping engine/transmissions between two of my old 760's. After replacing two automatic transmissions, and performing seemingly endless "rust combat" on my manual 760, I have decided the swap would be the best for the both of them.

I know there are those of you out there that have done this swap, I know it can be done...my primary concern is the pedal group - clutch pedal installation and it's linkage. Are there knockouts in the fire wall for the linkage? How about under the dash? Is there already a space for the clutch pedal? One of the aspects that endears me to these vehicles is their simplicity of design, I am hoping that these vehicles were designed to be equipped a manual or automatic with a minimum of differences in layout.

Any input would be helpful and appreciated.

Aaron
