WOW, I guess I stopped looking to soon! I doubt you will get much closer than that. If the register hole is right, drilling and counter sinking a few holes would be a piece of cake! Talk about a darn near bolt up deal... For a 196 swap, go find an S-10 mechanical speedo drive trans with a 3:76 first gear swap to the ford main case and and drop it in! Would clear bench seat and all... You'd probably want a Ford input too depending on the final depth. If I was doing a swap that adapter sure looks like a good starting point. Should probably be the one that'll work behind the 199-232 and 71 258 too. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II " Chronic Pain Hurts" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) > " From: Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx > " > " They also have second one that has more holes and options made for 64 and > earlier engines that may be more appropriate to the needs of an early Rambler > engine. > " http://www.calponycars.com/admin/TFile/FILE/Transmission/TRA-645-423.jpg > > this looks to be for early 260/289 v8 bells. > > check http://www.calponycars.com/prodDetail.php?prodId=371 > note the 'non synchro' in the description! from a pg i rescued from > inliners.org before 'hacksaw al' disappeared completely, it appears > that '66-7 falcons still used the ford-version t96, although the bolt > pattern looks to be different from the '60-5 '2.77'. > > " -- > " Mark Price > " Morgantown, WV > " 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 > " 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II > " " Chronic Pain Hurts" > " > " -------------- Original message ---------------------- > " From: Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx > " > Here's an easy starting point for the adapter! > " > > " > http://www.calponycars.com/prodDetail.php?prodId=349 > " > > " > Take one of these and a bellhouing to a machine shop, > " > Have the bell opened up to accept the centering lip of the adapter.
