I doubt it.  Remember?  AMC never had any money.  Given that the GenII AMC 
V8 was in the works beginning 1964, I really doubt AMC would have spent one 
nickel engineering the aluminium case trans to fit the 287.

I've never seen one, and my parts book doesn't have any listing for such an 
application.

Hey, even AMC had a Rambler Mentality.

Bless them.
