Auto to 5 speed conversion

Slowly and finally getting all the parts I need to complete the 94 cde conversion project. Or so I thought....
Finally getting a Fedex track number from the source for the engine oil cooler lines. But before actually seeing the items, I am skeptical. Getting them to make good on delivery is like pulling teeth.
The drive train is already assembled in the garage for weeks. Missing is two engine oil lines and the unknown drive shaft mismatch. To recap, the FPT has larger drive cups than either n/a or LPT. The 5 speed transmission conversion package I got from Rumrill's garage is for the LPT, hence smaller drive cups. They don't fit the large cups/tripods on the cde.
So either I get drive shafts with smaller tripods, those from n/a or LPT engines, or leave the shafts alone and replace the smaller cup on the 5 speed tranny with a large one and use the axle bearing for an FPT.
The parts came from Rumrill's garage has an axle bearing (for manual transmission) with a large cup. It also has two FPT drive shafts, which are redundant. Thedrive shafts are exactly the same as the ones from the cde. I am still stuck with a mismatch tripod and cup on the driver side.
I have to find a large cup or cup/base for the driver side. Goldwing wants nothing less than $280 for the FPT 5 apeed cup and base. I'll call Rum's garage today.
