all you would need is the shorter propshaft and possibly the different sized flange on the rear axle . and gearbox crossmember , the holes are already in the chassis for the screws .Some minor wiring to get the cut out switch working ( so that it only works in 4th gear ) all the earlier M46 had mechanical speedo drive until the later electric speedos came out . sometimes the clutch plate may need changing if the splines are finer .
