So I got the shaft lengthened and was installing new bearing, bushing and seal in the np208 tail housing and hit a snag. I was using SKF p/n 18998 for the bushing/seal but the OD of the bushing is too small. The thickness of the bushing’s sidewall makes up the difference.

That weld to weld measurement would be greatly appreciated!
If I remember correctly, my trans had HD on one side in raised letters and 39 on the other side. It’s been a while since I put it back in.

Nice! I did this swap as well. New L31r with Sniper EFI so it looks carbed. I still want to do the 4L80. I’m spinning about 2550rpm at freeway speed with 3.73 gears installed. Thinking I’ll gear it back to 4.56 when I do the OD trans and 35” tires.
