people

a

" 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.

T-5 is a pretty easy swap. I used clutch fork and throw out and bell from
the 79 AMX SR-4.
The shifter came right into the same hole in the floor as the auto shifter
did in the 70 Javelin. I
hadsto make a plate to adapt a trans mount I found at Arnold Motor Supply to
get the rear mount
to work.
It really wasn't too tuff just required abunch of searching to get all the
right stuff.
