Thanks AJ. Good info. I'm assuming the longer tail shaft can be removed and replaced with the shorter version, if I find a good price on a trans. Is that correct?

I've only done the long/short swap twice, and both times yes it went well. You may need some tools;unless the rear bearings you want to swap in,match the ones that are coming out.
I wouldn't fall for this tho, cuz you may not find a good deal on the A/F version. You may end up owning two trannys,which may not be a bad thing,cuz sooner or later you might need some of the parts from the second box,lol. Be careful, the O/D boxes look very similar, and an unscrupulous person might try and sell a newbe an O/D box disguised as a 2.66 box. The O/D boxes normally sell at about 1/4 to 1/2 of the regular stuff, from what I have seen.
