Can You do the same with the Front Bearing already on the Input Shaft?

Only if the cluster drive drops below the bearing hole. This only happens when the small 307 bearing is installed.

I was going to ask the same question, the OD boxes I have built have to have the cluster out.

When you say out, I think you probably mean; dropped into the bottom of the case.

Mines the 3.09 gearset for the early barracuda

Which IIRC uses the 308 front bearing, so .....

Is this an OD Trans? From my understanding, that s the only time you need to drop the cluster for the input to clear.
I had to drop the cluster on mine ( Passon Hemi OD gearset) and it was a mother to get the thrust washers back aligned.

Which is why I grease the washes to the case, stand the case on it's face and drop the loaded M/shaft down into it. The washers usually stay right where I put them. And bonus, so does the cluster, when I slide it home.
