(was)Young Imperial Owners...(now) Imperial O/D

[mccollamge@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

All
 I think that it is unlikley that a Volvo  O/D unit would fit , unless their 
supplier is 'Gear Vendors'... Gear Vendors makse a unit for our 727 
transmissions, it replaces the tail shaft and doesn't affect the trans mount or 
drive shaft length. 
 I got one to use on my Imperial, then decided to keep the Imperial all stock, 
so I used it on my Hot Rod that has a 727.
 The point of all this is that if you really want and need a O/D unit on your 
Imperial, go to Gear Vendors and get one that will handle the torque, and will 
bolt up with no modifications. An added side is that the unit will give your 
Imperial six speeds forward... all automatic.
