    Looks like I MAY have found a "DONOR" for a 302, C4 a 8.8 differential. I MAY be needing a FRONT crossmember, an automatic trans REAR crossmember and a set of mounts, have any of Y'all got an idea as to a sourse? kafrompa

    A friend and I removed the C-4 automatic to make way for my top loader four speed. We already have the floor shift column and pedals in place. I've got some cleaning to do before installation.

    Cut the tail pannel to fit the Bobcat Tailights. Modifide the Bobcat Tailights with a pair of Mav Tailights and lenses as Donors to make the Bobcat inner reflectors functional. Special Thanks to the Guys on the Forum for the inspiration and help.:Handshake
