Hello, I love the transmission! I did make my own TV cable brackets and have had no problems with it. I bought the hard parts from CPT and rebuilt it myself. It has a trans pack in it and bangs very hard. The convertor is their 10 inch unit and will flash to 3500 but it is quite tight if you are not on it. The trans will walk through a lite at idle also. The trans has had two 427's in front of it, both in the 560 hp range. The first one dropped a valve at just under 7,000 rpm destrying the entire engine. The trans is still going strong. I would recommend it as a good OD trans with minimal set up problems. Your drive shaft will fit fine. You have to move the crossmember back 7 inches but my car had holes drilled in the frame from the factory so it truly bolted right in.
Good luck bud
