If its a 4 speed to 4 speed its a direct bolt in... Make sure its a 4 speed and not a 3 speed OD. That will require a bell housing change. I'm sure some know it all will reply to tell us it won't fit...
...FAFO...

Brewers shows the pedal assemblies as different, dunno what is different or if they are swappable as an assembly. Might want to talk to them and see if they can help. http://www.brewersperformance.com/contact.htm
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

AS far as I know the OD came out in 1975, so a true 1974 4 speed should be a normal 1:1 box. There were some 75 1:1 3.09 low gear trans put in cars, several I have had used the 5.125" retainer also, fwiw.

I went thru a 73 A-body 4 speed back in 2010. It was a "close-ratio" gearset. IIRC, that started in 73. Gears were hard to find. Repro gears are available for the 71 trans you have access to. It's cheaper to rebuild than a later trans.
Personally, I'd get both and use the best from each. The sidecover/levers may be better from the newer one.
