The complete body is available, everyone and their
cousin makes suspension and drivetrain stuff for em,
JC Whitney has a complete section and at any swap meet
they are like dog turds at a park, everywhere. That is
why I am not impressed by any of these cars.
A 57 Chevy and Mustang is in the works too. Can the
Cuda be next......Russ

I've seen evidence of guys torching the tops out of sixties mustang spring towers to get the springs out! No stored energy there, it'll be fine! WOW, look at that fly! Cool!

You'll almost definitely need an S-10 tailhousing. Keep in mind it's not really a GM part! It was made by Borgwarner and sold to GM :] The Inliners website has a story on the swap Or Bruce Coultre at Modern Driveline can build you one ready to go.
The AMC tailshaft may also clear the bench seat, but they are hard to find.
Ram is still a good choice for clutches AFAIK. Centerforce has been getting a bad rap lately. For a clutch setup the news I have heard is ask for a clutch for a 77 jeep CJ with a 3 speed and your good to go! I looked on up and it comes out to either a 10.4 or 10.5" depending on clutch manufacturer and 10 X 1 1/16" spline, should be right on the money!
Now for doing all this as a bolt in. keep in mind, even if you pull this off you will have a whole bunch of drilled holes and likey need ot weld them all up to return to stock and if you like the result you will likely never return to stock. Value will vary,, but,, todays market values the unique modified cars as much or more as the unique stock cars. Build what you want!

> i want a healthy 304 put in, with a t-5. all bolt in, no major surgery so i can go back to stock if i so choose. i have a bellhousing out of an 80's jeep with a 6cyl and t-5. i have also been able to sorce a t-5 crossmember/tranny mount for a mustang. already to go with brand new bushings and everything. i have had to move my t-96 shifter onto the floor. i will have to close up that hole. i have the factory 50/50 bench seat in it that makes the bed. i am keeping it that way just because of the "wow factor" that it gets at the shows. i will need to see if i have just barly enough room to put the mustang one in as is, (mostlikely not) or scrounge around and find an s10 tail shaft. (pukes at the thought of that gm part goin into the rambler) also, there has been a thought of notching the front seats out just a little of the frames to make room for a regular mustang shifter, putting it right there close by.
>
> so am i correct in understanding that a mustang sorced t-5 from 93 and earlier will fit that jeep bellhousing as long as i get the right front bearing retainer?? that input shaft length that is. the clutch, maybe a RAM?? i dont have much experience in anything other than good old autozone stock replacement clutches. anyone with a good recomendation for a good clutch just a little grippier than stock ill consider. anyway, thanks everyone for all the help. will post more when i can.

> by the way, im looking for somewhere i can post pics for people to see of the car. i sent frank some pics of it. we need to have somewhere we can all show off our amc cars together. like myspace. i do have one of them. www.myspace.com/62classic if anyone would like to see.

i forgot to mention about the rear end. i have already got a triangulated 4 link to put in it. i am aiming at a ford 8.8 rear out of a mercury mountaineer or the equivilant fully loaded v8 explorer. i have been told they have the ford track-lock limited slip and factory disk brakes. i have disk brake conversion and front suspension upgrades in the plans also. i know i will have to do some surgery. im hoping to not have to do anything completely irreversable. i never plan to get rid of the car as my grandpa gave it to me when i turned 18. so as far as "value" is concerned, i dont care.

I figured about the value thing. Most of us truly don't care.
It's just nice to know it's there. The Mountaineer Exploder rear axle is a popular place to score a disc rear. Lots of info on them, Just search for Axle swaps into XJ's !
if you hadn't already boutgh the four link you might consider using a Mustang 8.8 and adpting it's four link as it is already in place on the axle! I don't know about the width but it may be an interesting candidate.
There is a guy in Tennesee that did an AMC 20 into a 62 AMC he was or is interested in selling his spare housing he built. His is running a 401 and he built two axles and after running the one decided it was geared too steep for the 401 and put the higher geared unit in and never looked back. I don't know if he sold that extra setup yet, but he would be a good person to pick his mind for info. Someone here on the list should be able to get you in touch with him if you've not already got in touch with him.
