D50 transmission with conquest shifter?

I currently have a 4g63 1989 d50 with a stock d50 5 speed transmission. I know that you can somehow put a conquest shifter on the D50 transmission to move the shifter further back. Do I need to swap the whole tail section of the transmission or just that top shifter section? AND, does anybody have the stuff I need to do it?
Thanks

You'll need the whole rear tail section. Talk to some SQC guys and see if anyone has any blown transmissions that you can get the parts from.

I've done it to mine. Its tricky at first to put it back together but once you can imagine it in your head you can do it really fast first try.

I believe I need the tail section of the conquest/starion transmission with the shifter mechanism / inside rods.
what would you want for it and do you have pictures??
Thanks

DJpowerHaus---> does this conquest tail section swap make the transmission itself any longer, or just move the shifter back? Does the d50 driveshaft yoke slip into a conquest transmission?
thanks

I have heard that the D50 yoke is the same, but have not tried it myself. The Starion tail housing does not change the length of the transmission.... you're actually using the same output shalf. Mounts and everything are the same.

Awesome, now I just have to get carguyf545 to sell me the conquest tail section real cheap!
Thanks for the info.

sorry about the slow response, i had a short in my phone line,(no internet). i will take the pics tomarrow. i have lots of pics to email this week end. it sucks when your internet goes down. there is not much to see. its a tranny with a bad bearing in the front shaft. message me with what you think the parts are worth too you. and please remeber i am not the dollar store and you cant find starion trannys anywhere.
