Thanks so much DD, it has been fun, especially as the parts are coming in and the assembly is close. So yes, 28 tooth yoke is coming, and your spot on regarding the driveshaft being 3" short. Probably looking at a whole new shaft. Your suggestions on shifters is right on, hoping I don't need to spend stupid $$$ on one, but I'll do what is required to make it right. Seems like my 55 3100 was $300.+ and I have no regrets after the fact. Only questionable issue I have is how the cross member is going to work. Hard to tell at this point if I can make something for the original unit to work and I'm not seeing any commercial options .
