I actually bought it with intentions to use it.Found out after that they dont have a differential.The axles are way bigger,the stub shafts going into the rear end are opposite of a regular 63 V8 car.The inside has a spline shaft that goes straight thru the assm and the stub shaft (female) goes over the steel shaft(making it a spool)The unit consisted of a basic 63 Tempest TQ 2 speed auto.Engineering made a 2 speed planetary system to attach to it to make it a 4 speed manual automatic.What ever gear it was indexed is the gear it stayed in until you moved it up or down.They used a hyd bearing mounted to the rear for the clutch and flywheel.I sold it when I fond it was not going to driveable on the street to Ken Freeman in OK for his real 63 SD tempest. I will post some pics of the assm ASAP.
Until then I will post a link of the genius I bought it from and you can read what he was able to build with one.Enjoy.Tom
