If anyone is interested I have an SR-4 four speed manual from a 79 Spirit AMX that had a 304. I've decided I won't need it. It needs a rebuild, but just bearings and seals. Gears, forks and other stuff looks OK. The shifter comes along with it. Got a flywheel off that 304 too....... Make an offer.

All cheap.
