Fred, (at least I assume that's you!)
Thanks for posting all of this up... I'm glad you took a bunch of pics when you made this happen. I will likely delve into this sometime after I finish up school (last quarter!). This has a 0.77:1 fifth gear, yeah? that sure would be nice!
Anyway, not sure if you saw my reply on the 'Tube, but I def. would like to check this out in person sometime.
Josh
just to clarify a couple of things: the 2nd pic above appears to have a plate sandwiched between the adapter and trans case... looks like maybe 1/4" aluminium...is that the reason for the input shaft not quite reaching the pilot bearing?
also, did you end up getting a bolt in the top hole (just above top starter bolt) or did you leave that out? Edit: NVM, I see in the youtube vid that there is a bolt there...
This is actually quite an elegant solution overall...nice work!
