" From: "Ian Cudmore" <yahootoo@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " I currently have the 232/904 setup in my gremlin. Recently i was given a 71 " gremlin standard (3 on the tree?) now the 71 grem is rusted to crap, it was " stuck instide a black berry bramble here on the left coast for the last 12 " years without ever being run. most of this car seems like its garbage, " except maybe some of the interior peices, they might be able to be cleaned " up, but what interests me is the bellhouseing. i seem to recall people " saying that all the manual bells were the same? and i KNOW i've heard people " talk about a T-5 being almost a bolt in. will this work? i plan to put in a " 4.7L stroker, a standard trans behind it would be even better. what other " parts would i need? and what 'exactly' is the diffeence between a Furd and " an AMC T-5? obviously overall leangth, but possibly the input splines as " well? and if so is is easier to keep the tranny the same and modify the " input? i know t-5 parts are common... 1. all manual bells are not the same. in later years there was a multi-pattern bell that took [almost] all the transmissions, but there are also single-pattern ones. 2. '64-'71 sixes have a completely different bellhousing pattern from '72-up sixes. there are just two trannies that fit the commonly available early bell and both are 3sp. you can't use a later bell. a 5.0 t5 is an easy swap with a multi-pattern bell; it has the bolt pattern of the sr4 and the retainer size, splines, and iirc length of the t150. maybe rear mount as well. shifter location is something else though. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
