Sure can bring a guy down from a free parts high!
I kinda knew that would be the case though when I pulled the cover and counted out the teeth on the gears. I got the T5 from a friend who wants some paint work done on his Harley so I kinda got it for free and the rear was just layin behind a buddies garage (he took it out of a project but it was not original to the project so we don't know the origins of it). The engine was one from one of my previous projects that was such a good runner I couldn't part with it. I haven't given up though, I'll just keep looking for a rear axle for the 50 and keep the highway geared rear for my 46 project which is more of a hot rod and will have a 364 nailhead Buick with enough torque to pull them 2.73's!
Thanks for keeping me straight though.
Chuck
