Gear Vendors question

I thought but don't know (That's why I'm watching) that it fits with some hammering in part of the hump. Then you have to set pinion angle at rearend by shimming or perch relocation? I'm contemplating putting one in my 68 340/4spd.

So potentially speaking here, it might be easier to get a B body A833 for the 4 speed setup to get the vendors tailhousing and save the A body unit for other projects.

The case for A and B are the same.....ya?

I apologize i am now realizing the OP is running an auto.....stick em up!!

lo siento.

So, @TrailBeast .... was your friends an auto? The conversion that required the tunnel massage.

EDIT: AND @TrailBeast ....how much of your massaging was caused by possible shimming of engine (changing angle because of header fitment etc etc) Basically if Gear Vendors is saying "a couple of whacks and yer good" and you had to cut and splice, was it because of other changes per say.

The trans on the friends car is a 727 behind a 440.

I guess if a person could massage 2 inches of clearance with a hammer we could say that could be the way to do it.

Not cutting and restructuring the floor would have caused a severe down angle to the trans tail, so to keep the engine and trans at the correct angle the floor had to be clearanced.

The car had new motor and trans mounts.
