One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

Well... its gonna be close!!! I have a spare 2004R and just measured it. Came out a hair over 28" maybe 28 1/16 to the end of the housing. The books all say 28 1/4" so I guess that's probably what it is (my stick might not have been perfectly square with the trans). Either way if you trim the upper cross member as per my previous posts (pics) or remove it completely you should have no problem, unless you don't cut enough. How did your torque convertor to flex plate clearance come out?? Should be no more than 3/16" so that you get proper engagement of the front pump.

PS - Still waiting for the mechanic to install the 3.73s gears in the Cuda. The guy hurt his knee and can't work on anything for a week or so.
