You might wanna back up a few years, say to chassis#111 - where you can pick and pull flywheel from common standard shift 6 cyl. finbody engine. This could be more likely match than later MB diesel version for your inline 6, assuming the '73 4 cyl flywheel is no go.
Lets see..... 1967 flywheel - 1970 engine - 1973 tranny
Next question...... never mind the pedal assembly and siamese hydraulic fluid reservoir - thats easy because sheet metal cutout plates are in your floorboards and plastic reservoir will pull right out of brake master cylinder.........
BUT.... you wanna know for sure internal clutch mechanics (slave cylinder - to - throwout bearing arm) dont get mixed up and fall short, or constantly hold the pressure plate in partial disengage.... on account of possible variations in flywheel thickness between '67 and '73.
Hey CT - how far back does the K4C tranny go..... does it also cover the finbody years?? Dosoakie has one hell of an idea here that could make vintage history.
Oakie, am hoping the junkyard still has the rest of the '73 cause you're gonna need the entire clutch hydraulic system, pedal and tranny mount - as I'm sure you are aware. Damnit you might get the entire conversion done for less than $500 + labor.

Love you guys!!! Got all my window switches situated last night. Wasn't so bad. Now the reason why I think she needs a new tranny is she wont shift clean. Ok. - um It's like shes stuck in 2nd gear. She goes in all gears correctly - Barely can hear her switch from 1st to 2nd, stays in 2nd will rev up rpms so I can only go like 35 mph. It sucks!! Someone told me a throttle arm stuck, someonw else told me the govenor..??? I dont know - just figured I'd fix her myself. I have yet to take her past 35. I cant wait for the day. Its like she wants to shift into 3rd and haul ass sooooo bad. I appreciate and need all of your help!! I am very grateful to have found this awesome forum. Heres a pic to see what I'm working on. Shes beautiful. I'll keep updating. Thanks
