I think the bellhousing and clutch release bearing arm are different too. A donor 140 would be a good target... I got all those parts for a future conversion when I got my D-type. I have no earthly idea why a 74 145 would have a D-type, but it did... wierd! Too bad the wrecker cut the driveshaft front half with a torch!

Hell.. I'd might just whip up a little conversion plate out of engine turned all or stainless to put those Smiths guages in the 122 . Cut yerself some templates the diameter of the guages and offer them up under the padded glare shield. You may find that just a modicum of cutting would be needed to the lower edge of the current instrument cluster hole to clearthe larger Smiths gauges. This, to be covered by a flat, guage mounting panel screed in place by counter sunk oval headed trim screws like in your windshield trim pieces. Card board mockups are highly reccomended .. measure twice, cut once!!

If you do it, POST PIX, OK!

Better yet my birthday is coming up and you could just give me the guages...hint, hint! HAHA!
