Default Toploader HEH-E into Hi-Tech 289?
I have just located a good ex-Sunbeam Tiger HEH-E toploader which looks like a potential candidate to replace the "alien" Tremec in my Hi-Tech 289 FIA. And the 25 1/2" HEH-E coupled with a 289 bellhousing is only about 3/4" longer than the Tremec combination
Questions are, does the Tremec TR3550 and 28-spline Toploader output shaft use the same drive shaft yoke? Will the Tiger shifter be roughly in the right position in the 289 MKII transmission tunnel? Are there any pitfalls for using this particular model of toploader, spares availability etc?

Andy
