its a good idea actually, how has it gone so far?
So far so good!
For sure, send em my way if you need to. I ain't forgot about ya, I just put 6k miles on the road since monday, so I really only have a chance to get online on weekends...shoot me a pm with some pics so I know what i can tell the machinist needs to be done. But like you were saying, get the adapters fabbed and the doubler built so you can get an accurate measurement on the shaft...Have you figured out if you will have enough material with the shaft, or will you need a new shaft??

Yeah I've been poking away at disassembling the c4's and still need to p/u those 2 1354e's so I can use the planetaries and input shaft from one of them.
So dang busy getting ready for xmas I hardly have time to think, lol. Oh well 3 more work days then things will calm down after this weekend and I'll finally be able to get shit done!
I'm undecided on whether the shaft is able to be splined, hard to measure it with the speedo threads. It might be thick enough at the speedo threads, however, with the governor off it definitely is thick enough. AA says to remove the governor assembly for the shortest c4 combo possible, but then they say you need a reverse manual valve body.
Heres the 2wd c4 output shaft.
This 2wd c4 I got was smoked I think, what was left of the fluid was very dark with lots of silver and the pan only had 2 bolts holding it on, lol. Not that it matters as I'm using the 4wd c4 and rebuilding it anyways.
Every thing I've read says the 4wd c4 uses the "truck" case that has heavier duty case and internals compared to the 2wd "car" c4.
Is there a trick to getting the pump out?
