    Good Morning,

    There is a 1996 357 for sale that caught the eye because I am interested in building a light tractor to pull garbage tippers. What would be involved in swapping out the straight 10 and putting a Super 10 in its place? This would be a total rebuild anyway.

    Why is it broke? Bolt right in, change the shift tower, shorten the driveshaft, enjoy driving around in 9th because it has a high overdrive ratio. If I changed I would be looking for a deep reduction trans. in your business.

    super 10 is longer than a straight 10 drive shaft needs cut
