I just held up a 904 pan to my A-500 deep tci pan I have lying in the
basement, they're identical in shape, Ok, I bring the 904 pan out to the
truck, whoa, not the same, so I dig thru tons of crap and find a 727 pan,
BINGO, I guess I do have the 46RE / A518 / A727 + OD tail shaft, so I guess
that does confirm atleast to me that the Gen II V-8 Dak's with 4wd got the
A-518 / 46RE. Anyone need a TCI Deep pan for a 42/44re? Cheap!
