" A: The bolt pattern is the same as Chev 2.8L V6. Transmissions (stock) are 
" AX-5 5speed (commonly 2wd in Comanches) 904 auto and AW4 (but lighter duty). 
" Other possibles are AX-15 (from a Dodge Dakota with the AMC 4 cyl. Not sure 
" what years) and any Chev trans that bolts up to the 2.8L V6 (with some mods 
" for the crank sensor if EFI and zero balanced flywheel). 700R4 was used in 
" some S10s.

also cjs, eagles, some '84-6 xjs, and the few 2wd amcs that got 150s
had t5 trannies - amc ones, as opposed to the gm-style that s-10s had.

" That's been thought of here before, and I think it warrents another look. 
" I'm sure a boosted 2.5 would go great in an American.  What I don't know is 
" what kind of transmissions will fit behind that engine?  Does it have the
