no complete kits unless you get a donor car. even a super would work for you.

list:

transmission
tranny mounts
axles and cv joints
shift coupler
diagonal arms
diagonal arm bolts and washers
stub axles with bearings and seals
brake drums, brakes and wheels/tires to match.
shocks
irs springplates
torsion bars that match springplates
bushing for springplates
clutch to match transaxle if using a later model transaxle

i might have forgot something but this will give you a ideal.

Yes you can after it is converted to a irs trans. but it is cheaper to get a irs than convert it.
