I have been looking for 4-speed parts for quite awhile now, let me know if you part it out...
To put into a C-body, right?
since C-body pedals are unique differing in mounting from B-body

But of course! My 69 Monaco 500 convertible will remain a 318 auto car until the 4-speed parts are located. then it will become a big block car too...
You know where that 67 Sport Fury Vert,383 with a 4-speed I found is sitting!

This whole adventure got started by looking for c body 4 speed parts because...
If you're assuming this is a plug 'n play conversion.... 1. If a small block and going to a BB, you need the Schumacher engine mount kit. 2. Tranny needs to be the long tail shaft unit with the forward shifter mount location. 3. The Hurst shifter arm is unique to the C-body to clear the dash and the bench seat if a bench is used. 4. B-body humps absolutely positively will not work despite this urban legend being said over and over. Get a C-body hump from Resto Rick. It's a perfect repop. 5. The clutch pedal / brake pedal assy. is unique to the C-body. Again, NO, B-body assys. will not work. There are two assys, manual brake and power brake. It's a bytch to make one into the other. 6. The mount for the Z-bar is welded to the stub frame. The fender has to come off. 7. The Z-bar is unique. 8. Don't forget the unique pedal to z-bar rod is unique. 9. Every time you come across something you can't figure out, if a B-body guy tells who how to solve it, it will be wrong. They do know their stuff on the mechanical details of everything from flywheel to tranny and everything in between though. 10. There's about 50 other itsey bitsy details but you'll figure those out when you get to them.

The console is the same.
If you need insight on how to make a manual brake pedal into a power version, PM me: it's not that hard if you obtain an auto trans power brake pedal.
I do recommend getting the correct c body hump- but 24 years ago they were not available, yet somehow at a young age I was easily able to use a b body one without much issue, and it is still in place today and looks proper- So it CAN be done.
For the frame bracket- if you want to get by without removing the fender or pulling the motor- you can take a piece of 2" angle iron, weld the bracket to the iron and then bolt the angle iron to the frame. There is the ability to fasten the angle to the vertical side of the stub frame: my converted 1967 Newport has been set up as such since 1990 and works fine. PM if you want pictures of how it is mounted.
