Yes, that's the standard fix from the Mopar guys... it's not a big deal, just need to be aware of it.
As for the speedo gear, if you need to change BOTH parts of it, yeah--it's a pain. I was able to do the math and find the correct drive gear and housing online--it's the same as a TH350 and 700r4 unit.
My truck has tall tires and 3.42 gears, and that OD is just sweet driving down the highway honking along at 80mph.
Since I've got a '60-'62 truck, I'm forced to use the stock bellhousing with the side mounts and hydraulic clutch. I could convert it all, but there's really no need.
So, with that said, does anyone know if there is an iron case with the Chevy-style mounting to use with a typical GM bellhousing?
