|  Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A..... 
			
			Tim -- you said ... This was $467 to my door in 2013. It is a 3.5" by 54.75". The 3.5 inch is tight in the tunnel, but doable You didn't indicate what year Nova -- but aren't Nova driveshafts normally about 51-51 inches? ... TAZ

That should explain the difference. One other item to add, although I do not think it makes a big difference, I have a Ford 9" in the car Tim |

			Thanks Tim -- that explains it.  I had a 64 wagon with a 355 but I don't remember how long the DS was.  How is everything in Waukesha these days?  I am originally from the Shawano area and now in south Texas -- snow is a four-letter-word.  LOL TAZ

			A suitable replacement transmission has been located and will be ordered tomorrow. What it <span style="font-style: italic">isn't</span>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Muncie</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">B/W T10</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Richmond</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Gforce</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Liberty</span> What it <span style="font-style: italic">is</span>: It is a manual and should eliminate any further potential for breakage. It's almost a direct bolt-in for the Muncie save for a little crossmember re-location, and best of all it does <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span></span> require cutting the trans tunnel, PLUS it's a few inches LONGER than a Muncie which = a shorter driveshaft. (Along those lines, I've also found a 12 bolt pinion yoke that's apparently 1" taller than an OEM yoke which takes another inch off the driveshaft) More details soon. |
