You would have to rework the nose mount. Different nose mount bracket
between the 2 types, different bolt patterns to the tranny and different
length reach to the van crossmember. If you use the 091 nose mount
bracket you will have to adjust for the different reach as it will be
too short. As far as the shifter stuff, all you really need is the early
rear shift rod and guide pin. Then adapt that to the later front shift
rod, for correct length to reach the tranny.
