Keep in mind that the input shaft for the tranny "should" be swapped when using a diesel bellhousing on a gas tranny. 

this is a relatively simply process after the bellhousing is removed. (so i hear, I've never done it.)

I have a core out of an 82 that you're welcome to. If you don't want it anyone else can have it for the cost of shipping. I never drove the van it came out of, but do know that the van died of head/timing belt failure. Can shift it by hand last time I checked. The bellhousing is still on it, however it IS NOT included with the trans. I need it.

First come, first serve, after Tobin. (that is, if anyone wants it).
