    I have basically everything minus the driveline and tranny. so basically the rear mount, shifter, shift cables, half shaft, front axles, and some other ish.

    Good on you searching.

    I'm helping a friend with this conversion presently, and will probably do my own in the future.

    ONE OTHER THING to look for: Some auto cars do not have the hole in the firewall for the clutch cable, nor the supporting bracket on the inside of said hole. I thought we had collectively decided that this was only true of 1988 models, but the '89 RT auto we're dealing with now has no hole.

    Check out lil'ghost's build thread where we did her conversion. It's a 2wd, but the same applies.
