Ive done a bunch of work on my 722.3 valvebody. 1st gear start is very difficult to acheive with a gasser v/b. Ive swapped a diesel v/b but it didnt shift and its casting was different. Ive used the 124.034 v/b which was ok but shifted a bit weird. Im currently running my original v/b with mods to start in 1st. It doesnt hold as long as I'd like but works pretty well for daily driving.
