I think all you need is a VN (?) 4 speed box (non computer) and modify/make a new cross member.  You'll need a new yoke and maybe shorten the tailshaft.  

There is a website in the States that uses a TH200 and has pics of what to do to the xmember.  Sorry I can't rememebr where it was.

I have a new exhaust system that I will be installing on my 73 shortly, you can use my old system if you like. Can be modified to suit your vette.

But isnt yours a big block?

Mattrix:
MADLT1 said he can lend me some stock manifolds, so as long as the pipes are the same on the BB as the SB then I should be ok... but I wouldn't know whether they are the same... anyone?

As for the VN box, very interesting. Will have to keep an eye out for one of those (probably on ebay), doesn't sound like too hard a swap really.

69 DIRTY RAT:
No BB & SB manifolds are very different!
