[AMC-list] TF trans with a 290

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marty,

The 904, 998 and 727 will bolt up to the 290 but the 290 crank will need some 
modifications to accept the TF converter and flexplate.  If the engine is 
already apart, you could have your machinist machine out the hub of the crank 
and then make an adapter to press in that will have the hub to locate the 
flexplate as well as the hole for the back of the converter to sit in.  Doing it 
this way you don't have to space out the transmission for proper starter 
alignment.  


If you can not machine to the back of the crank, you will need a bushing that 
can be pressed in to small BW pilot hole of your crank that will then open up to 
the TF size and have the outer ring to locate the flex plate with the hole 
diameter of the TF converter.  It is basically the same as above only you are 
not machining it so the converter hub sits inside the crank hub like the 72 and 
up cranks are from the factory so you will need to make a spacer to go between 
the bellhousing and the block otherwise your starter won't engage correctly.  I 
thought advanced adapters made a kit for this but I couldn't find it on their 
site.  We typically just machine the back of the crank as it is a cleaner way of 
doing it.

Kind regards,

Nick

Will a 904, 277 or 909 transmission bolt up to a 1969 290??? If not, what 
entails a crank modification?? Finally, the 290 is a 2 barrel but was converted 
to a 4 barrel.? Do the valves need to be replaced to run the 4 barrel?
?
Thanks
