" I guess I didn't ad enough clarification to the
" original question, though some of the responses were
" salient.  I assumed that everyone would know that the
" adapter I was talking about was from an AMC 304 to a
" TH400.  The Buick engines were mostly done by 71.  

yup.  the confusion is because the buick adapter has a standard bop
pattern on one side, and many folks confuse which side that is.

a different adapter was used with nash 327s and th400s before that.

" So, to review, the AMC V8 to GM TH400 adapter was only
" used with an odd GM TH400 that did not have the
" standard GM bellhousing pattern.  Instead it had an
" "export" pattern?  Bummer.

yup again, though that case was first made for the nailhead buick -
401 by '65 - and the necessities of that block made the case a good
export platform.

you might be best served by the advance adapter ring, which bolts to
the amc block and has both chevy and bop patterns on it.
