<VV> 1966 trans on a earlier diff

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

I put a '66 Saginaw box in my '65, didn't have any problems with the  
bearing adjusters; used the '66 trans. mount; the shifter was adjustable for  
length so I just loosened the clamp and re-adjusted the shifter.

There  are other problems in doing this.  The bolt that retains the  bearing
adjusters on the diff and trans are in a different position so the  heads
interfere with the castings.  I recall having to grind clearance  on one or
both castings to make it work.
Also the '66-69 trans is longer  than an early so you have to use the later
trans mount and change the  shifter to shorten it up.
