Although the part# on the tag that has been attached to the trans corresponds to a 722.311, that does not necessarily ensure that the trans
is a 722.311. (An original, stamped in # is much more likely to correspond.)
There can be some doubt in this instance; the diameter of the convertor housing (bell housing) for the V-8 engines is larger than that for the inline engines by about 2".
