hummm

the driveshaft is part closed, part open.

what if i just put the 3 speed OD in to start with. the 216 humms along nicely and i douby 19 cubic inches is worth the hassle at the moment. i'll keep the engine for when the 216 dies (a long time from now i hope)

the engine/trans is from a '56. it had a column shifter, how hard is it to retrofit a floor shift?
