Re: [Amc-list] bell housing

["Andrew Blomer" <lotharamc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

"amc/jeep and ford t5s have the same bolt pattern.  ford v8 retainers
"are larger, so if you don't have a multipattern bell [0] they won't
"fit unless you turn the retainer down, enlarge the retainer hole, or
"get another retainer from an amc/jeep, gm, or maybe even 4-cyl ford.
"other bits you need for the swap - clutch disk, pilot bushing, output
"yoke, maybe rear mount - can come from an amc t150 setup.  if you want
"to move the shifter forward, the trick is a chevy s-10 t5 extension
'housing; these have the most-forward shifter.
"
"[0] one of the multi patterns is for the t150 3sp & t177 4sp.  these
"also have the larger retainer so i'm assuming the multi bell would
"have the larger hole.  btw these trannies are ford-design toploaders.


When you say "retainer" what do you mean? When looking at the bell housing, 
the large hole on the trans side?
