" It would be interesting to see if an AW4, which also has a removable

" would be one serious problem -- the starter ring gear is made onto
" the converter of the M-35, not on the flexplate. As far as I know all
" auto trannys used behind the 196 have converters with the ring gear
" on them. I've never seen anything but an M-35 or M-8 behind one
" though. 

we all know warner continued to develop the m35 family into a line of
autos used on a wide variety of foreign iron.

it was apparently one of the first autos widely used in australia, and
as such a popular target of swaps.  i was recently browsing an aussie
tranny adapter maker and tripped across a housing which they said
'fits both bw35 and bw51' with a different part for the bw65.  i have
some old notes i got from an aussie in the roverheads group on beefing
the bw35, using sprag and clutches from a bw51 and 3rd/rev drum from a
bw65 [and a few other parts]...

i know they have differences, but now i wonder if the 'export' bw35
and the amc series have compatible front pump / bolt pattern?  some of
these later warners came to our shores in bmws and volvos, and others.
