Is there any issues with putting a rhino tranny case in a barndoor? are the ribs too tall to clear the tube trans supports?

It will interfere with the lower trans hoop. You will need to clearance the case in that area.

That's what I was afraid of.. guess I'll stick to a normal tunnel case for the build. Thanks Trev

I had a rhino case that was sitting around and finally needed a trans rebuild so I had it all swapped into the rhino case and Just before selling my 53 I put it in there. I don't recall ever messing with anything to fit it in. Pretty certain it fit as normal.

Any non split case gearbox will need clearancing to fit in a pre 53 bus. The tube that goes under the gearbox is flat on a pre 53 bus, on later buses it has a dip in the middle.

If I remember correctly, a rhino case only has extra ribbing on the top?

The ribbing on the bottom side is taller than stock too.

Hey Scotty. Thanks for the help. Mine is a 52 as well. I'll probably just run a normal tunnel case. I'll be running a 1776. But at times I may stick my 2332 in it for fun. [/b]
