Good to know I dont need to buy another clutch fork then.
Tonite I removed the transmission to get the inch thick grease/dirt off it and get it checked out and new gaskets put on it.
The U joints for the driveshaft and PTO are toast, lots of side to side play.
My parts arrive friday so I can spend the weekend seeing what needs to move or be "adjusted" to fit the 350 in there.
I'm hoping the 265 exhaust manifold will eliminate or reduce the need to move the steering box.
If I'm allowed yet or know how to post pics I will try to show what I am doing...
thanks again
