I forgot to answer the question on the input shaft.
I am going to look into furnace brazing. I hope it won't
affect the heat treat. I am not sure how Ross, Tracy
and all the other Ford C6 PSRU people do it.

Many factors involved here:
                      What is the initial             Rc
                      What is the desired final Rc
                      What is the base material
                      What is the joining material
                      What temp and time. (based on the above)
In some cases, the hardness may only be reduced by a
couple of points, based on some of the above factors.
Most reasonably equipped shops can make these determinations
based on your specs.
This can also be found in the Machinery's Handbook.

Thanks Archie. I will look into this further.
