Re: [AMC-list] Fw: 4 speed setup interchange Spirit to Javelin

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

The pedals need to come from a 68-74 Javelin. The trans will bolt up, 
but be aware that it's an SR4. That was barely adequate for the six. AMC 
used it behind the 304 in the 79 AMX (Spirit body), but it was marginal. 
You'd have to get the driveshaft length and front yoke changed, but any 
driveline shop will do that for under $200 provided you have the ends 
(the old driveshafts). Note that a Mustang T-5 will bolt in place of an 
SR4 -- same bolt pattern. That's what I'd be using instead of the SR4. 
You need a pre 95 T-5. If you have a close to stock 360 or a 304 the T-5 
will be okay, just take it a bit easy if you've got the 360.

The folks below are wondering if a 4 speed setup from a Spirit will work 
on their 72
Javelin, if you can help them out aye or nay, feel free to reply and 
thanks in advance to
all who might, be sure to also copy your reply to them also.

Is it possible to swap the complete 4 speed setup from a donor Spirit 
6cyl car into an
1972 V8 Javelin? What about drive shaft and pedals /linkage?
Thanks!
