I have a 51, 216 and 3 on the tree. I want to change rear end and go to an open driveline. Can I use the original trans? The existing rear end needs work and it feels like the torque tube is vibrating. Not hotrodding just want dependable and highway cruising speed. Thanks
RE: existing trans with open drivel You need to get a later model tranny to convert to open shaft. I don't know of any conversion kit for the stock unit. It will be much cheaper to find a tranny (even if you have to rebuild it).
