Re: T150+OD compatibility?

Tom,

It should fit right in your Hornet.  I have the exact
same combo T150-OD (NOS) to put in my 1976 Gremlin. 
Floor shift.  Driveshaft, and rear tranny mount will
have to be modified to fit the OD tranny.  You will
also need to cobble up a speedo cable and OD control
circuitry.
