brooks, the gt6 bellhousing is longer than the spit. if you set both
bellhousings face down on a bench and measure the height, the gt6 is about 3/4"
taller. therefore, the spit input shaft is "short" by 3/4" when attaching a
spit gerabox to a gt6 bellhousing. this leads to some serious issues with the
spline engagement and also the pilot bushing. ted
