Yo Marv, I did not know about different tail shaft housings. Can you tell me what I vehicle I should be looking for to find the short one? The center section of the '36 I am thinking of getting this trans for is already modified with a Chassis Engr. kit, so maybe all I would have to do is fabricate a trans mount.

I am currently running a Muncie 4 speed behind my flathead with a 3:00 8" rear. My cruise is good with the 1:1 final drive, but initial accel ain't so good. If I could get one of these 170's in there, I'd try a 3:55 rear. Thanks for the info.
