What Would You Grab From a '66 122s Parts Car? 444-544

Greetings O Knowledgable Ones:
I just picked up a '66 122s parts car. My intention was to grab the discs, calipers, & backing plates for a conversion to my (mostly) roadworthy '64 PV 544 and then part the rest out. But before I'm too hasty, what else would you grab? It is all there except the carbs & intake manifold.
Also, many thanks to my previous and numerous questions. Your help gives me the confidence to forge ahead.
John

Not sure if it would fit, but you might check and see if the entire front cross member might fit the 544. It would save a LOT of work, and I think there is a pretty good chance it would. I think the passanger side pitman arm mounts on the crossmember, where the 544 mounts on the frame, but that shouldn't present a problem-just stay with the 544 set up. Hope you get more suggestions and someone corrects me if I'm wrong. Also, would it have an O/D transmission? Good Luck

I'd be interested to hear if that works out -fitting the crossmember. If you have the B18d presently, I'd at the very least take the cyl head and rebuild it. But if you're going to take off the brakes might as well pull the whole engine too. I'd just take the dizzy, dynamo, starter, VR, instrument cluster, M-40, and anything else that looks like it might fit or be made to fit. Split up the body panels and pan them off to a 122 geek with a hole in the door and a crunch in the nose. I see an awful lot like that. -SRC
