Hey Larry,

We are gaining clearance as we move forward. We're thinking inserts may work now.

I have Stelling boxes on my AT and the engines are moved forward a foot. My set up uses a rear plate for the mount. Mine uses the normal splined Stelling shaft and that inserts into a splined driveshaft extension.

The box has a the bearing carrier in it with a female spline on one end to accept the input shaft from the drive and the other side is a 1410 flange. There will be a similar flange on the flywheel. (no Merc coupler). We will have a driveshaft made with a 1410 yoke on each end. It will bolt up to both the flywheel and the bearing carrier.

Tape his wallet to the throttles to remind him they are not 6s.
