Who still makes these or maybe has some NOS items ? Prefer 62-65 but I'll take the 66-71 .... I bought one at a swap meet some years ago but in my move from south Michigan to northern Michigan the shorty tail shaft was misplaced or at the worst lost. Any help would be appreciated ....

Thx Dguy but yeah you're right that not the correct type - the one(actually I could be in the market for TWO OF THEM) I'm looking for is a total of maybe 4" or so off the back of the case. I think the company's that marketed them were ... B&M Fairbanks Art Carr and jw ...

There was a clutchflite trans with a winters short shaft conversion priced good at 700 in the trans section last month. If you want to split it up, Id buy the clutchflite portion.

Doc I tired to PM but you are over your limit. I have a shorty stock trans (ain't sure if that is what you want) but I wrote myself to take a pic when I get over there (likely tomorrow).

I had one of those a few years back. I sold it at a swap meet for $40 and was happy to get rid of it. Actually had a hard time selling it since most people didn't know what it was and the other folks didn't want it.

rb. .... I hear you on that but IF we are thinking about the same thing .., I think one that you are referring to is the one that has the bolt on flange at the end of the output shaft that the u joint attaches to. That one isn't short enuff - thx for the thought though.

AF .. that's the same way I picked up my last one - a long LONG time ago ... Milan Dragway at the Mopar meet !! I remember it almost like it was yesterday - he asked me THREE TIMES if I knew what it was !! He threw in a manual VB and a Art Carr shifter goose neck but no guts ! ... 30 bux !! ... but that was then ! ... The reason why he was having trouble selling it was because it was the early trans -- JUST what I was looking for !

It shows up fine .. That's the later trans - I prefer the early model but I can make this work - are you sure it's still available ? No hurry though - I'm about 60 days from needing that for a mock up. I'll also need a good or junk RB trans case ., keep me posted .. Thx

Piece of PS history those trannys are..

Makes me think about a 3 speed dragster trans, using a 727, instead of a glide.

Remember when planning?
Good: driveshaft angle goes down slightly
Bad: longer driveshaft is weaker and has lower maximum RPM

Yo poly .., I hear you but this combo here NEEDS a shorty kit because of severe engine setback. Without a short shaft I would not have much of a driveshaft length at all.
