To do the speed in a 1300 you will need:

5-Sseed axles
5-Speed uprights/hubs
Left 1500 swing arm
1500 starter
1500 transmision/engine shrouds
1500 flywheel
1500 clutch set.

I have all the parts available from 79, except for the transmisson itself.

While you are that far under the car it's a good time to get to the the, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, exhaust sytem, alternator, thermostat and water pump too, if any of these are iffy.

It's easy to do if you have evrything good to go. Mine took me about 6 hours replacing the water pump, alternator, rear struts and toe links along with everything else. The hard part is stabbing the transmission. I used some long bolts with the heads cut off as a guide. I got them at NAPA


I got a few other tricks that make it really easy for a one man job. So, if ya go for it and need any parts or encouragemnet, give me a shout.
