<VV> 1966 4-Speed to a 1965 Differential

[Bernie Livengood]

Take a 66 transmission to differential gasket and place it against the 65 differential and align the 4 tranny mount bolt holes on the dif case.  Mark the lower and upper holes that aren't open in the dif case and drill the holes to gasket hole size in dif case. Notch the dif case for the 66 trans front bearing retainer strap and bolt. Use the stock type mounting bolts and you'll be set to go! The fluides in the dif and trans will be able to transfer back and forth. Use the 66 tranny to dif gasket.     Bernie
