It shouldn't be hard to find the parts you need. I have most of them, but
I'm a
bit far from you. I have all the FI parts and they could be shipped easily.
I'd
advise to build a '71 or '73 FI system on it, and avoid the '72 system just
because of the troublesome '72 distributor. '73 might be easiest but if you
can
find a complete '71 engine (I have one) then this would be a good
possibility.
The timing marks changed starting in '72, so I'd try to get something that
was
consistent with what you wanted to end up with.
I parted out a '72 a couple years ago, so I have seats, interior, engine, FI
etc if you want to stick to that year. I don't have the pan any more.
The pan changed mid year of '72, so you'll need to look for the right style,
depending on which style of front seat mounts you have: Early seats were 2
rail
mounts; late seats mount on 2 rails and a front center mount.
