Tom, you are motivated! Would be nice if someone here has the spec's / 
drawings of the Crown subframe....

My car has been together since '77..I bought it from a younger owner that put 
the NOS  on it...Diff is still together!.  Unerside looks like a 30 yr.used 
car!

If I ever blow the 327 I will go 4.3  and if I lose the transaxle  it will 
get a 2004R...with tailshaft removed......with E,D, Machining I can get the 
shaft resplined without unhardening the shaft...$200... 
but that sure seems like a lot of work!! gg
