It really doesn't have anything to do with value of the car....it's just that the hassle you will have to go thru just doesn't seem worth it to ME...but it might be worth it to YOU!!! and that is all that really matters.
As far as the swap, you will need the complete clutch/brake pedal assembly out of a donor car. This will also require the removal of the steering column to do this swap. You will also need the Z-Bar, both clutch rods, driveshaft, etc. off the donor car.
Other things to consider with the swap. Speedometer cable....different, same, I don't know. Crossmember....same, different, I don't know again.
For all the money you will spend, you can have your auto rebuilt and save money...and be that much closer to a V-8....that is some of the problems I see.
It is your car. Do what you like and have fun!!
