Seriously. They are junk.

I used a RAM unit that mounts using the stock bearing retainer. (TKO 600) Straight forward to install. Take a lot of measurements and then shim accordingly.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, ask away.

Thanks for the heads up Darren. I'll have to do some more research to see if RAM makes them for the Ford T-56 Magnums (vs the GM T-56's). I have the stock GM TO bearing which is supposed to be pretty reliable and is much less expensive than the McLeod---but it doesn't fit.
