^^^As above for HQ and HJ, or 2nd half of HZ. Not so easy for HX and early HZ as clutch mechanism attaches to 4spd bellhousing holes so needs further mods.

if your putting a 4 speed behind it you need a dellows or castlemaine rod shop bellhousing..for auto you need an adaptor plate..

the conversion for the bellhousing is around $900 from CRS.

Dellow want about $300 for a chev pattern to Aussie 4-speed bell housing... but if r not in a hurry u can usually pick them up 2nd hand for about $150, at swap meets or via ebay

cheers

Hi, I have played around with a bit of this in the past, there are a few traps to consider.
An hour or so is well spent on google seeing all the different, pedal, clutch, bearing carrier combos, released through hq to wb (late HZ).Including full rat trap, 1/2 rat trap, full cable, push pull forks and stuff.They can all be made work but just do a little home work.
I fitted a dellow housing in my HJ van recently, with a full cable clutch.(late HZ WB & put the wrong bearing carrier in)
The danger of having a little bit of knowledge & not alot.

cheers Vic
