[V8Vairs] Drivetrain conversion

[Tom Uppstad]

  You mentioned that you had the ouput shaft resplined - To what spec??  I have a contact here that builds powerglides for racing, with lots of experience with "shortys", etc.  Did you buy the billet adapter from Clarks?  If you made one, how did you do it?
  The "Kit" from Clarks is quite spendy + shipping across the country (I'm in Western Oregon).
  Appreciate your info -  thanx  -  Tom

When I switched mine over a couple of years ago (4 speed to Powerglide) Clark's still had the parts. Takes a billet adapter between the trans.(less tail housing) and differential and a shortened output shaft that came with a new (?) planetary housing. I used a glide from TCI and their output shaft was alot better so had it cut and resplined. Don''t regret going to a glide but it would be nice to have a couple more speeds on the upshift.............
