yup; see my #2 approach.  this is what i have in my own car.

i don't know if you have the right yoke for garrett; mine was given to
me by homer browning, who has - if he's still with us - a barn full to
the brim with amc parts.  he said 'you need a long yoke for the
u-joint with the small caps, and here it is', and neglected to tell me
what it came from.  the yoke and the tranny are the essential minimum
for this swap.

i have verified that all '73-6 t-14s have a fine tf904 output spline
different from the coarse one of '68-'71 t-14s and all t-96s and
aluminum autos, and there are '70s yokes described as '5.5"' and '7"'
but not how they're measured, and that u-joints with both 1" and
1.125" caps were used.

i can personally verify that the yoke homer gave me fits my '68 199
driveshaft and my '73 [iirc] t-14, and bridges the ~2" gap the shorter
t-14 leaves from the t-96.

there is no longer yoke for the coarse spline, so that's why he'd need
the '68-'70 232 american/javelin driveshaft [or reasonable facsimile
thereof] for the 'early' t-14.

" If so, I have the complete setup. The
" throwout bearing went out and carved on the three
" fingers on the pressure plate. the clutch plate and
" flywheel still have plenty of service left on them.

the clutch would be usable but is otherwise the same as his '60s one.
the flywheel only fits '72-up sixes.

the nose of all -car- t-14s is the same as the t-96, so nothing new is
needed there.  this is what makes the swap even possible for '60s
sixes.  [-jeep- t-14s have a t-86/t-15 nose, with a long 1.125" spline
input shaft]

" Some of this stuff I'm saving because I want to put a
" T-5 in the car. The bellhousing is multipattern, we
" went round about that on Baadass Gremlins, wasn't real
" clear then either.

does it have the non-square sr4/t4/t5 pattern?  the large ford
toploader/t150 pattern?  what's the retainer hole diameter?

how was the t-14 registered on it?  by the bolts only, or...?
