Alright. Well let me post this question.

I have a contact here in town who has (2) Toploaders.

1. 25 spline output, narrow case
2. 66 390 Fairlane Toploader, broken ear

What would you do?

He's asking $200 for the Fairlane box, $250 for the 25 spline box.

I could get the 25 spline box, change the main shaft and rebuild it with a master rebuild kit. But the bad thing is that I would have a narrow case (weaker?) and a small input bearing retainer.

The second option is to buy the Fairlane box, buy a new input shaft to fit a small block, rebuild it with a master rebuild kit, and then try to find an empty case somewhere to put all the new guts in.

What would you guys do?
