Thank you Jorb!
I read the full article!
I love this idea. The hard part is finding a good center section. I live in Cape Coral, FL. I don't have time to look around in junk yards...

Does anybody know where I could find a good quality Eaton HO52 center section, harvested from a ’68-’72 GM 3/4-ton w/automatic transmission?

I would be willing to pay a finders fee!

Thanks!
