1700 bellhousing does not fit the redblock

the 1700 gearbox can be used, but you have to swap the front piece of the gearbox wich has the mounging points for the torquetube (make sure to use a new gasket!) and bolt the 2 mounts on the diff.

Input shaft is different on the 360 also. The 340 one doesn't have the machined relief for the bolt.

if you just blown a hole in the diff housing, i'd just swap the diff + it's housing!

much easyer and saves a lot more time and effort!
