Default Switcharoo!

I have finally decided to switch my PG for a Muncie 4 Speed ( The Car was originally a 4 speed) I have the Trans., Bell Housing and Shifter. Perhaps you have swaped to a Fancy Dancey Auto Trans. and have those clutch parts laying around. I also need the different brake assembly. Unless the Pressure Plate, Disc, Throw out bearing and such are only slightly used , I will probably buy new ones. Any suggestions, problems with instalation you have encountered, mine fields or short cuts would be most graciously appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

I, for one, are very proud of your decision, my soon to be sore left-legged Corvette brother (I am bowing in silence toward your direction).

C'mon Frank, this man is doubling his amount of forward gears with one single operation. At this point in time, bowing is the best that I can do. Toasting/drinks/meds comes after work (I may leave work early).

I am sooooo happy my thread has prompted such lively replies.
FYI, my left foot,tibia, fibula and femur are in excelent shape for a man of 64. I like what one fellow said " double my gears in one fell swoop" or something like that. Thank you for all the suggestions.
This will complete my "Frame on" restoration ( for now). I will put up pick later.
