Re: [AMC-List] AMC Hot Rod-Mid engine

A: The FWD trans are BOP (and Caddy for early V8s till they went to MPFI) 
Just had another thought today. Landrover kept the Nailhead pattern and if 
the trans they used can be beefed up more than a 42RE (I'm selling the '96 
ZJ 42RE trans "core" I have for $75, but it's 4x4. It worked but didn't 
shift right, likely due to the valve body problem they are plagued with), I 
may have an O/D option for my '73 J4000.
   I have mechanic friends at the local Landrover dealer that I can ask to 
watch for a usable core for me.

Hmmm, I must have missed a lot with all those spin
around backwards suggestions, however, here's my .02.

If I were going Mid Engine With and AMC, I would get
the Fwd TH400 from an Olds Toronado and mount it out
back behind the engine.

Does that have the same Bolt pattern as the FSJ TH400
before they adapted an actual AMC Bolt Pattern?  Now
wouldn't that be cool if you could take the early
adapter for the Jeep TH400 and mount an Olds FWD trans
straight up!

Hey, we could even do a FWD AMC that way!

(If you were not aware, the original Olds Toronado was
a Big Block Front Wheel Drive Monster from the 60's...
an AWEsome cruiser and BRUIser.)  A definite cool rig!

OK, Boys, LIGHT ME UP!

Jesse
