    You trying to fit this in a flatty? I'm guessing so as that's where it's posted. Better get out the tape measure as most of the 465-208 adapters I've seen are pretty long. Not saying it can't work but may be very, very tight. At the least the motor will need to be moved as far forward as possible.
    Length is one the biggest issues and one the manufacturer's of aftermarket adapters work very hard to overcome. That's why they can be spendy.

    Im running this set up with a novak adapter behind a v8 and no frame lengthening. Yes, its tight. I run a tom woods cv shaft, if I remember right, the shaft is 11" long.
