I mentioned these ZF boxes as they are state of the art - availability since 5 manufacturers along with GM / Ford are using them and the gearing isn't simply a 3 spd with an OD gearbox hung on the case. The GV Od has some bad press behind the TH400s the Toyota camp use for the Turbo UZ FE engines - Tundra 4.7 / 4.3 / 4.0 DOHC motors > vibration. New ZF is lighter than any existing 6spd and 4spd auto matic. Direct clutches - etc. I posted about these a few months ago with some Tech URLs . In your pile of parts you might have the TH400 adapter to AMC...... in a year or two these ZFs will be found on car-parts.com for a couple of hunnies...... Turbine smooth - well geared these can keep your launch in the Torque 'pocket' rather than screaming over a broad band 3spd TF - or not.
