    The front end of a 39 trans is the same as a 47.

    Well i figured my problem out I had been holding the adapter up to a trans I got to try useing the input shaft in my CAE in & and out box, the guy i got it from acts like he knows all about flatheads, said it was for a early flathead so I figure it is, I never bolted it to on of my motors so talking to the guy I got the adapter from he says he had it on a 39 trans,he thought maybe I was missing a spacer or it might be a later trans, So I pull the In & out box out of the dragster, had it and a block in the chassis to mock up mounts and so on, and put it to the adapter and guess what it fits prefect, Nothing like looking stupid because of someone else, So if someone seems like there full of shit they proablly are!!! Thanks Tim Jones
