I am in the process of removing the v6 & 5sp from
a 79 monza 2+2. I am installing the stock 262 and
sagina 4sp that i took out of my 75 2+2 when I put in
the 350 & muncie. I am finding out that there is some
structure difference between the 75 & 79. For instance the
transmission cross member is totally different (looks lighter
duty) and there are no mounting holes on the
transmission tunnel for the 75 4sp shifter to mount to. I do
have 2 complete 75 v-8 2+2's for parts. Is this
because the 79 was a v-6, or are all of the 79 2+2's this
way (even with the factory v-8)? Has any one else ran
into this and what did you do to make the swap
work?
