I would be putting it into my 1937. The 46 has the 3:55 gears in it already which is why I would be looking to use. How compatable is the 46 rear end with my 37? I'm not afraid of a little work to get what I want, just want to know what I would be getting myself into.
Thanks for the help,

I may be able to buy the 4 speed with the rear end. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | I would not want to switch to a non-synchro 4 speed if it were me.
I asked as if both your 37 and the 46 were 3 speeds because I would have suggested using the 46 trans to prevent U' joint problems if it had been a 3 speed.
I think I should PM you my phone number to talk this over. There is to much info for my typing skills to write.
