Think Twice!!! According to someone I once knew who worked for Volvo at the time, exactly TWELVE 71 Es with automatic transmission were imported to the USA. They didn't use just any BW35 either. It was the uprated version from the 164 police package, with different valve body and much firmer shifts than usual.

I have seen two of these cars---one was gold, and had been converted to a stick, the other was blue/grey and still had the auto box. It is very unlikely that either of them still exist.

If you are going to do the conversion anyway you will need the pedal cluster, clutch cable, clutch kit, 140 bell housing, clutch fork, flywheel, pilot bearing, gearbox with the long stick, (top cover can be swapped onto a later one) transmission crossmember with mount, and the correct 140 driveshaft. (flange sizes must match your gearbox and rear end. Flanges can be changed but it's a pain.)
