a fair amount of work but it all should bolt in.

prob have to change entire drivetrain back to diff. speedo, and i am not sure about the gas tank. if it has a carb you might have to change the tank too. if it has fuel injection you may just have to change the filters and some of the lines back there where the gasser fuel pump would be eleminated.
