Whats needed for a st-10 swap?

The auto's finally getting ready to go belly up and im sure im 99.9% the reason why. Ive decided to aviod getting anything with OD since i drive like there is an impending nuclear holocaust and i need to keep my license. Im sure this has been hashed quite a bit but what do i need to get one in? Should need a crossmember, mech. clutch assy. + bell housing, drive shaft, and a torque arm from an early third gen with a four speed, correct? Anything Im missing? Im sure it will be a PITA to find it all but if i can find all the necesarry parts ill do the swap.

Also, just out of curiosity, what are the differences, if any, between the aftermarket richmond st-10 and the bw st-10?

You don't need a mechanical clutch assembly necessarily.

The best thing to do would be to find a Warner out of a 82 that came with one. That trans has th eright torquea arm mount and funky trans mount pad to fit directly into your car. Hurst still makes a shifter and install kit for that, and since it all mounts in the factory locations, a hydraulic clutch actuator system will work fine with it.

Stupid question but is that fits directly into my car with the present cross member and torque arm or fits with the torque arm and cross member the 82 came with?
