Most guys would want to replace the fine tooth gears with coarse tooth Bus gears.  The Bus gears have their synchro cones electron beam welded to their gears.  The gears from a 72-75 Bus are what you're looking for.  72-74 has an extra tall 0.82:1 top gear.  A 0.89 comes from a 75 only gearbox.

Get some Type 181 or Type 182 flanges.  They use the larger Bus size CV joints.
