I knew there was going to be an issue with the 1/2 NPT oil cooler in out ports in the newer block because of the bigger oil pump to feed the piston squirts. I did noodle around on here and used Rock Auto to research...

    Any interest in a spring meetup?

    Any interest in a meet up in the Mid Atlantic area? Maybe at a big event, tractor pull, race, tractor show, rural heritage type fair or some such location. Probably the lowest stress way to go, no one has to "host". :hello:

    RFC Swapping parts between TH350C and TH350 trans long output shaft to short.

    I need to swap a TH350C (lockup converter) for a plain old TH350. It would be no big deal if it were not for the regular 350 is a short version and the C is a long tail version. I have rebuilt transmissions before, I rebuilt the TH350 20 years ago come to think of it. I do see in a book I have...
