Anyway, it looks like I will be receiving 3 717.400 swap kits with correct shift linkages, shifter, etc. in a month or so from now, depending on shipping. There will be linkages for both a 240D and a 300D, but the flywheels will all be 617 flywheels. I'll post when they come in, as I'll be looking to sell two of the sets and keep one for myself. I'll also most likely get a (probably more complete) kit in late winter/early spring and possibly a 717.420.

The "real" zingers in the kit are
1. The front section of the DS. I currently have the 300D and 240D. I am looking for a donor to make the 240D. I can measure those for you.
2. The shifter is unique. Good look on that.
3. The X-member is NLA and you could "fab" one, but there's a fine line between a total hack job and a decent retro job. If you can find a decent shop, then you will spending a few hundred bucks on a few of those ...
4. The shift linkages "should" be somewhat easy, but then again there's a fine line between total hack job vs. decent retro job.
If you can get the 717.400 (I am guessing from Hudidy), and the correct FW, then some of the other parts are easy:
1. Pedal assembly is easy
2. Miscellaneous lines, et cet , are easy, e.g., hydraulic, electric, et cet
If you want the measurements for the front sections of the DS, let me know. I think I posted them a while back, but I can re-measure if you need them.
