Tim -- you said ... This was $467 to my door in 2013. It is a 3.5" by 54.75". The 3.5 inch is tight in the tunnel, but doable

You didn't indicate what year Nova -- but aren't Nova driveshafts normally about 51-51 inches? ... TAZ

It is a 67. That should explain the difference. One other item to add, although I do not think it makes a big difference, I have a Ford 9&quot; in the car

Thanks Tim -- that explains it. I had a 64 wagon with a 355 but I don't remember how long the DS was. How is everything in Waukesha these days? I am originally from the Shawano area and now in south Texas -- snow is a four-letter-word. LOL

A suitable replacement transmission has been located and will be ordered tomorrow.

What it <span style="font-style: italic">isn't</span>:

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Muncie</span>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">B/W T10</span>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Richmond</span>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Gforce</span>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Liberty</span>

What it <span style="font-style: italic">is</span>:

It is a manual and should eliminate any further potential for breakage. It's almost a direct bolt-in for the Muncie save for a little crossmember re-location, and best of all it does <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span></span> require cutting the trans tunnel, PLUS it's a few inches LONGER than a Muncie which = a shorter driveshaft. (Along those lines, I've also found a 12 bolt pinion yoke that's apparently 1&quot; taller than an OEM yoke which takes another inch off the driveshaft)

More details soon.

Nope, not a Jerico.

I'll spill the beans as soon as it arrives.
