Since it looks so easy to rebuild. Does someone sell the shaft & Gears etc to make it a 16:1 Ratio?? Looking at this gets me to thinking that Flaming River and the other companies are totally fking people over.
Nobody sells the high-ratio gear sets anymore, which is a bummer. They are dead easy to rebuild.
Oh, BTW V8 '64s have the bushings too. The bushings are kind of a problem, they wear out, not like the needle bearings. Then your new seal will not cure the leaking, and there will still be slop in the box.
