hey. a mate of mine has a 73 sbug with a stock motor and has some how managed to root his gearbox. and i happen to be selling my 4.125 box.

would the 4.125 box go straight into the 73 super?

if so how much is a 4.125 box worth? (from a 71super) ????

Any help appreciated as this money will be going towards funding my engine conversion, and he needs a box to get the car going again.

Hi

They will fit, you will need to chane the nose cone for the front mount, the mount cradle under the 71 box is much better tha the one on the L bug.
