you need to change the drive/driven gears in the trans tailshaft to the proper ones. If you can get them off the car the rear come from, that would work too.

if you're going from drum to disc, you *should* change the prop valve. also will have to change the ebrake cables.

guessing its got different gears, so you'll have to change the speedo gears in the trans (as previously mentioned)
