Unless the ’71 came with “S” calipers you will need to install the struts too. So you should probably install everything except the A arms from the SC. The early A arms have the correct through the body sway bar mount. Not that you can’t add them to the SCs but why bother? All you need for the 915 and 3 Ltr. is a big hammer, 1 or 2 hits on the driver side tunnel by the rear seat tubs and of course the shifter and clutch cable. Note: it might fit without modification but will probably sound just like a rear wheel bearing going bad as the trans works against the tunnel without the extra clearance. The alloy control arms and adjustable spring plates are a nice upgrade in back too. Gages all fit but you will need to run a wire from the trans for the speedo. Seats require an adapter, easily made or get them from Performance or ??. You’ll need to install all the SC FI paraphernalia including the fuel pump unless you switch to carbs. Changing out the electrical panel to the left of the engine simplifies this a lot.
