" Sure you can.  There is a spacer/adapter that requires absolutely no

" Not so, Tom. If you have a 71 or earlier AMC and want a 72+ TorqueCommand
" tranny behind it, contact any of the big AMC vendors for an adapter kit. A
" minor machining of the end of the crank (done in-car) and addition of a
" bushing and everything lines right up.
" If so inclined, it's like a $30 item, if I recall Correctly, and the
" boneyards have plenty of old Concords and Spirits from which to get the
" tranny.

yeah, earlier -v8s- can be easily adapted -- but tom was talking about
his hornet's -six-...
