1. You will need a hydraulic clutch master cylinder,
2. Look on quicktime bellhousings site and see if they make a buick/pontiac-t56 bellhousing (pretty sure they do)
3. Shifter hole will need to be recut i believe
4. No idea what kind of clutch or flywheel you will need or if they make one that will fit the buick crank
