Jim, the input from this group is always well intended and no one would give you the shaft.  I couldn't resist.  Ken

Drivetrain has been removed and transmission and differential removed from 
the engine.  Input shaft is definitely for a 3 speed.  Obtained a 4 speed
input shaft installed it and reinstalled the differential and transmission. 
Yokes turn as intended.

Problem solved.

Thanks to all that offered input and support.
