Re: Jeep trans adapters

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a complete 67 327 with a turbo 400 and Dana 20 sitting against the wall of my garage!
it's destined for the convertible! 37,000 original miles, out of Pa dealership plow truck that was never ran in nice weather! I Ebayed the whole package for $270.00 and drove 5 hours to get it! My dream is to add a gear vendrosoverdrive to the 400 and put it all in the Convertible!
