Put and overdrive on a 617 w/ 240 Four Speed

Hello all,

I will soon be removing the auto from my 1985 300D Turbo and trading it for a 4 speed from a 240.

I will have the new gearbox out on the bench and wanted to consider things I should do before installing it. A while back a pushbutton overdrive from a Volvo was proposed to be installed on a 240 manual but I don't know if it was feasible.

Does anyone have a clue about adding an overdrive? I know I probably won't need one with the 2.88 rear end but it would be nice if it wasn't too complicated.

Also, did anyone ever find the right pilot bearing for an 85?
