stick to automatic

["dan whitehead" <freebird_58@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got the 390 sitting on the engine stand for my '69 AMX and the body 
won't be ready for probably another year.  The engine has been done for a 
couple of years and I've rotated it, kept it oiled and ready for use.  Today 
I was thinking, why not drop it in the Spirit.....all I need to do is get a 
couple of questions answered.  One, what mods do I need to do to the crank 
to bolt up a 727 or 904 transmission, and two, would the trans in the spirit 
(behind the 258) bolt up to the 390 or do I need a V8 transmission.

I understand the swap mods that will be required to drop in the V8, just not 
sure about the tranny options.  I don't want to run a B-W as the parts and 
strength are limited to build one.

Thanks for any information that can help.
