Now onto my other major hurdle. When i bought the transmission i had no idea there are 2 different length 4wd tailshaft housings, 5.75" long and 8.75" long. I have the 5.75" long one, i need the 8.75" one in order to mount the np205 behind correctly, as you can see in the photos there is zero room for a driveshaft to spin freely, i need that extra 3" of length away from the tranny. So i either need a c6 tranny with the correct housing, or get the housing and a longer tailshaft to swap in ,or get a np 203 which originally came behind the shorter tailshaft, or the not so desired np 208, and none of these options seem to be easy to find or cheap
