'41 Clipper transmission questions

Posted by Denny Z On 2009/7/18 7:26:26
I've been looking for a non o/d transmission to swap with mine, and some interesting questions have surfaced. First, my non o/d tranny has the "long" tail shaft. Earlier models have the shorter version.
Question #1: Can I use an older "short" tail shaft tranny and simply switch tail housings?
Question #2: Is the overdrive tranny the same length as my non o/d version? I was told if I switch to an o/d I would need to shorten the drive shaft. ie: Will an o/d tranny fit my application without tailshaft modification?
Any technical help is appreciated!
