360 and 340 gearbox compatibility

Hi chaps, I've got a 360 at the moment, put a welded diff in it yesterday and seem to have lunched my gearbox :( . It still drives but theres lots of grinding and scraping and it's difficult to select gears. Fourth is fine though oddly. I'm going to flush the diff and box out tomorrow and see what c...

Blocks yes. If you grind the nipple off the top face. Ubolts no. Straight hi tensile are what you needs.
