For those of you that installed a stock 4x4 700R4 in a 67-72 4x4 by using a 'spacer' block between the tranny and transfer case adapter, I have a few questions. First of all, with the 700R4 being 2" longer than a TH350 and the 'spacer block' being xx" thick (nobody will tell me just how thick it is

), where exactly does this leave the engine cradle on the frame rails if you leave the transfer case crossmember in the stock location?? Are you able to use any of the factory holes that are drilled in the frame for the engine crossmember?? Does this setup push the engine further forward than the I6 location?

Those of you that installed the Advance Adapters output shaft, these questions are not for you.

Nothing personal, its just that the AA setup is much different as far as how far the engine has to move forward. We'll talk about that option later.

Thanks to all,
