The AW4 I have to put in my '82 Spirit is longer than the 998 that will be coming out. Unless that is a 4wd version AW4, it should be longer too! The 4x4 version has no spot for the speedometer to go (it goes into the tcase) From: Frank Swygert Subject: Re: [AMC-list] Matador / Ambassador drive shaft length + options To: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Same shaft. The Ambassador had a longer wheelbase, but all between firewall and front wheel centerline. The engine still sits in the same place as it does in the Matador. You'll have to get a shaft made. Won't cost much more than getting different ends put on one. The Cherokee shaft is probably too short also. --------- Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:23:33 -0400 From: Doug Dornbos I am swapping a AW4 transmission into my Matador and it's shorter than the 904 so I am considering options on the drive shaft. Is a 4-door Ambassador's drive shaft longer than a 4-door Matador's? -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AMC.html (free download available!) _________________________________________________________________ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you. http://www.bing.com/cashback?form=MSHYCB&publ=WLHMTAG&crea=TEXT_MSHYCB_BackToSchool_Cashback_BTSCashback_1x1 _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
