ok, there is a mainshaft extension (which extends the stock mainshaft), 5th and 6th have to be narrowed by machining them down (in width), there is a trans case extension (bolt on type) with the mainshaft end bearing integrated somehow in order to make it a narrower assembly. even with all of this narrowing it still extends the tranny case enough to warrant cutting a 'u' in the inner fender for clearance.

Subject: anyone familiar with the Option 6 setup?
Could someone enlighten me on the specifics?
How much length is welded onto the tranny case? The few pix I've seen have it protruding into the wheel well.
How much would the shift linkage have to be modified? What mod's need to be performed?
Is the 6th put on the pinion shaft or the main shaft (pinion shaft, right)? How is that shaft lengthened to accommodate the 6th (typically a 0.71 5th, right)? Or is it swapped from some other car?
My brain is feeling curious today....Ron - would this be a way to supplement your income? ;)
Go Giants! JT
