Very nice. Three things I don't like about GV: 1. $$$ 2. driveshaft angle (not that bad in a long wheelbase car like a B body) 3. only .78:1 OD, less reduction than most factory O/D (700-R4, AOD, 500/518, 200-4R, A340E)

I thought the GV would fit without cutting the floor? I was going to install one in my 69 Charger. I've installed 2 TH700R4's in customers BBC Chevelle and 57 and they just don't hold up. I wish we had something like the 4L80E for our Mopars that were actually Mopar transmissions.

A buddy just put a GV unit in a 66 Corn-nut for a guy. He Slightly massaged floor with no cutting. I was amazed how well it tucked up. Early B may have lil smaller tunnel. The units come with a 1350 TH400 style slip so he opted to install a 1350 yoke on the 8 3/4. Now has a 1350 drive line in the 38 inch range. what is the purpose of the hose clamp on the tailshaft ? if it is to retain the rear seal, that's kind'a hoakey in my opinion. Yep, the clamp has tangs that lip the back of the seal to serve as backup protection from seal pushing out. the shiftier we are instilling. love it or hate it, its going in. I dig the shifter ... Thanks for sharing

We have that same shifter in the Camaro and a GV unit in it as well. Cant say I'm a huge fan of the shifter myself, but hey I got one too...
