Water cooled trannys in 6-cyl Americans

[TABunsey@xxxxxxx]

Frank, et al:

Some years ago I had a 68 6-cylinder American wagon that was really loaded with Heavy Duty options:

Twin Grip
Front sway bar
WATER COOLED AUTOMATIC tranny

SO, yes, the option was actually used.

Foe What It's Worth, the water cooled 6-cylinder automatic tranny used the SAME CASE as the tranny used behind 290 2-bbl AMC cars. So says the AMC parts book, anyway. So an easy way to build a HD water cooled tranny for a 6-cylinder car would be to start with an automatic from a 290. Obviously, use the correct 6-cylinder torque converter and tranny bell housing.
