i wouldn't be surprised if amc arranged all tranny +/- od setups to be
the same length - the t-96 had a -very- long tailshaft.

but -- doesn't the t-86 have a different nose from the t-96?  iirc it
has a aquarer pattern, larger retainer, and longer 1 1/8" dia input
shaft.  iirc frank searched for some time for the right bellhousing
for his 4.0 / '63 classic, before giving up and going auto.
