We have been converting my son's 68 4dr 300 from a PG to a Muncie. This has been a VERY slow ongoing process since he wrecked it a few yrs ago, but now the progress has speeded up.
I had the pictures in BENCH RACING and the moderator suggested I put the pictures (especially proper clutch linkage) here. So here is a PG car converted to Muncie with all the correct parts (except the Hurst).
This is what we have been working with (yes, we have all the parts, it's just been taking time to get my son motivated to work on it).
Except for cutting the hole in the floor for the shifter hump and a hole in the firewall for the clutch push rod, converting an auto tranny 68-72 car to a manual tranny is a 100% bolt-in swap.
The ORIGINAL cross member is retained (depending on which tranny is installed, all frames have multiple holes for proper positioning of the cross member). All the cross members are the same. FACTORY 4sp cars have a couple of brackets welded to the cross member for the factory Muncie shifter, but original FACTORY Muncie shifters will eventually become troublesome, thus it is wiser to go with a Hurst shifter and install one of the bolt-on replica MUNCIE shift handles (sold by Ground Up).
This is the bench seat hump installed. It is an ORIGINAL hump from another car (the repo humps are excellent).
