Alright, Appernetly I am a dumba$$. I got a 465 to 205 adapter, put a new seal in the tcase side, then got busy at work and didnt get any farther. Today I had time so I went and tried to bolt it all together. Well the little short shaft on the tcase side, (calling it a shaft, its about 1 inch long with female splines) is bigger than the seal on the adapter. They dont make seals this size come to find out. So I says to myself both tcase and tranny run on 80-90 so oil mixing should be ok. I try to bolt everything together and the tranny side of the adapter fits great, the output shaft slides right into the little shaft on the tcase, BUT the adapter WILL NOT fit on the tcase. The bolt pattern is the same, the little shaft fits inside the adapter, but I guess its the bearing? that sticks out about 1/4 inch will not fit int he recessed area on the adapter. The recessed area is too small. This explains why there is no seal. Do I have the wrong adapter? Is there more than one adapter for this setup? Im not sure what year tcase this is. I got it off a 72 with a 350 or 400 tranny, but it could be from any year I guess.

I dont need this running tommorrow or anything, but I would like it eventually. I guess I could do another option, but I have questions about that as well. Can I bolt a T221 to an SM465? My 221's power collar is shot and it is only 10 spline. Is there a 32 spline to 10 spline converter/adapter? The tcase is 10 spline and the tranny is 32.

What a pain this is turning into. Anybody have any thoughts.?
