Didn't someone say the SR5 had the same pattern as T14?

Ahh, thanks.
 
The AX-5 while attractive for smaller six cyl projects like mine, has a
non-AMC input shaft, since the 2.5L has a GM rear pattern and all that.
 
I'm pretty much narrowed down to pre-64 AMCs with sixes, which pleases me
greatly -- the major downside is there are NO transmission choice, the one
automatic, T-96 with and without OD, and the T-14 with a custom driveshaft.
 
 
Man, do I wish I had a T-14 with OD... if anyone has one in decent shape I'd
consider swapping my Navarro stuff for that one transmission.
