What's wrong with the current gearbox? if its weak syncro you won't
gain much with the later gearbox, Syncro dies just as easilly. If the
car has its original box and engine and both are working, leave it
alone, alterations will detract form it's value.
TO fit the later gearbox you will need the flywheel and the back
plate from a later engine and possibly a new spigot bush. Certanly
the entire clutch (to go with the flywheel). Can't remeber why the
flywheel was needed, but I did do this job on my A40 farina after
blowing the 1098 up, and seem to rember the engine would not go back
on with the 948 flywheel (hence the new clutch/flywheel) I would be
inclined to fit the engine as well as a ribcase gearbox from a later
car, just the box alone won't make the car any diffrent really
(unless the current box is broken)
