ok update....both motors are out...i had a bunch of delays getting the truck to my shop......i need both trans lines..(no better time to change them )...i was worried that the splines on were different from standard to auto but they are the same...it looks like i will have to shorten my drive shaft 2-4 inches.....i will be droping the motor in tomorrow..and hopefully have it running...if i get time between kids/work..and just life in general
