Thanks Brent. Yea, I was at the same swap meet, but the thing was basically over on Saturday before I found out he was there. The whole thing was kind of a spur of the moment type thing. From what I understand, the FT bellhousing is 1/2" longer (6.75" instead of 6.25" or something) which would make the 390 type pilot 1/2" too short, but I cant see why they wouldnt work with the longer pilot. There must be a reason David says they cant be used, but I am not sure if this is why. I worked my butt off cleaning one up and painting it before I even knew there was a difference in the bellhousings. LOL

I also seen your post about the short tailhousing after I went to the swap meet. There was one there that was attached to a rusted inside toploader that the guy would have basically sold the whole trans. for next to nothing. Im assuming you have already found one though. Anyway, thanks again. If I decide to tear into this TL I have now, I might have to bend your ear again, as you seem to be pretty sharp on them.

Thanks,
Greg
