Re: [AMC-list] Torque tube T-14?

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Are you saying the T-96 and T-86 have the same bolt pattern to the bell housing? Or are you saying that the 196 and 287 have the same bell housing to block pattern? I suspect the former...


You know, I was looking for a V-8 drivetrain and forgot all about the 232 having the heavier transmission and rear axle at the time! A 65-66 Classic setup with OD would have been perfect!! Oh well, I can't say that I'm unhappy with the AW-4 and manual controller... just would have been less work than putting the Jag rear axle in, or the Cherokee axle (which I found to be a bit too wide) and ladder bars I used at first. Can't say that I'm unhappy with the independent rear suspension and rear disc brakes that came with it either!! But if I'd thought about it at the time I'd have went with the easier solution.

" The T-86 was used behind the little 196 as the heavy duty option.
" The 232 got the T-86, same as the 287 V-8.

same bellhousing block pattern.

frank, i'm thinking if you'd found an entire '64 232 stick drivetrain
for your '63 4.0 swap, you wouldn't have had tranny problems and you
might never have been pushed into the extensive drivetrain mods you
ultimately did!
