what year is the PW tranny?
Re: Wanted

Re: Wanted
pretty sure you have a civvy PW rear housing. Does yours have the offset diff? offset is PW and M37 (m37 being narrower) and centered are WC. a friend just gave me measurement of 54" backing plate to packing plate on an M37. the WC/PW housings are wider by about 2.375"

Re: Rebuild time on the 230 flat head engine
