Ive done the search and have came up short.
Awhile back someone had a list that had everything on it including part numbers for a auto (th350) to a 4-speed swap.
Do any of you remember this ?
Im thinking about to start collecting parts,Also do any of ya have some of these parts laying around going to waste ?
I need them cheap as possible.
IM not a cheap person, i just dont have a lot of extra coin.
Thanks.

boy... there have been a number of lists.... I've posted 2 myself this year, plus the big one 5 years ago when I did it. Many other have as well. This is a popular swap and a common topic. OK, one more time, but you can look up you own darn part #'s, k?

Transmission: Alluminum case muncie 4 speed, any will do. Original Camaro transmissions had the speedo hookup on the pass side of the car. Since you'll be using a Hurst linkage, find a trans with a drivers side speedo, from a vette, 'velle, or full size car. Look for a trans with a 10 spline input shaft, fit is easier and parts "booked" for a firstgen will fit. You'll find this where you find it, and will pay between 100 and 1500 dollars for it.

Fitment: Muncies fit into the exact same location as powerglides and T350's. Your original crossmemember and mount works in it's original location, driveshaft fits, yoke will plug into the tailshaft of a 10 spline input muncie. Speedo cable fits if the trans is drivers side speedo.

Flywheel size, clutch size, starter: Chevy used 2 different flywheel sizes, and each used a unique starter. The best / easiest is to use the size that fits your current starter, as follows:

10.4" clutch, 153 tooth ring gear, starter with bolts in a straight line, one short bolt, one long bolt. (originally used with 327's and 302's)

11" clutch, 168 tooth ring gear, starter with one bolt ahead of the other, both same length. (originally used 350' and 396's)

Repro house purchases: The following are reproduced and can be purchased new.
Pedals, both with mounting tube.
Pedal covers.
Cluch linkage kit (includes everything except the fork.)
Clutch fork.
Clutch fork rubber boot.
firewall rubber boot for clutch rod. (with 2 attaching screws)
Correct bolts for bellhousing to block (These could come from Ace hardware, too)

Summit or equivalent purchases: Aftermarket parts.
Hurst Comp Plus shifter FOR YOUR EXACT APPLICATION
Hurst install kit for your exact application.
Clutch pressure plate, disk, throwout bearing (Zoom or centerforce recommended) for the size clutch you chose to use.
Clutch alignment tool (included wuth the Zoom clutch)
Correct ARP bolts for flywheel to crank and pressure plate to flywheel.

Things you just have to dig up:
bell housing for the size clutch / flywheel you selected
Flywheel of the size you selected. I found both of these used at D&R for less than $200.
Inspection cover that fits on the bellhousing, bolts to hold it on.

Stuff you should get:
New correct knurled starter bolts.
Starter front bracket if you don't have one
new trans mount.

When I did this, I got the trans on ebay for $400, the rest cost about $800.
