But a 70-up B/E body tail shaft has two mounting locations and the one at the rear is the one you use when installing the tranny in an A-body.




Yes I am aware of that, just showing how an A-body transmission looks side by side to a B-body unit, I don't have an E-body unit here right now or I would have included that one in the pic as well.

As far as the bracket on the B&E-body trans, good idea and I'm sure it would work fine. However, I don't like the idea of grinding on a nice factory part (the B-body mounting boss) and would't want to hammer on my floor hump or cross member for clearance either. My personal preferance would be to just get the right parts in the first place and convert a box like the one I posted the photi of above.
