Hey guys. Looking to convert one of two 320s to a 5 speed manual. I understand the 5 speed of an 83 is just the 4 speed, with an extra overdrive gear and shorter driveline. If anyone has these, just gimme a hollar, although shipping would be a beast.
If anyone has experience with this, id love to get some help. Thanks.
The 320s are 77 and 79.

the 77-79 was a 4 speed (2 sections), 80-82 is the 4 speed with an extra section with the overdrive unit added in (3 sections), and the 83 5 speed is an entirely new unit with a shorter case and only 2 sections.
