  Not easy. Had to source a bunch of the parts. Had the pedal box fabricated by a guy in Florida. Got the gearbox out of an old XJ40 manual. The clutch and flywheel components came from a place in the UK called Simply Performance. The guys there are very nice and have been very helpful to me since the conversion as well. My mechanic is a Brit ex-pat who did all the labor, including the rear-end work. It took him about 16 months to complete it.
