[AMC-List] my 62 classic project

several people have stated it is easier to go with a ford 9" or 8.8. i realize this, but ever since i inherited this car, i have decided to keep as much amc as possible. also, i was reading an article, hotrod or carcraft, a month or so ago, the ford 9" is heavier than gm 12, 10, and so on. the car is light, i want it to stay light, keep that unsprung weight down. before i got sent here to iraq, i drove the car every day, and plan to when it is finished. keeping amc, and weight down, amc m20 sounded best idea to me. yes, i am using a t-5 from a mustang, but there were some t-5's used by amc, just not strong enough for my needs. well, im hoping to run a t-5. i have to measure distances first. i want to retain my bench seats, but the shifter on the mustang t-5 looks a little far back. i am on a tight budget, and would LOVE to have the tko 500, but i wont be able to afford that. i wont have any problem with shifter location then. i have been told there are bellhousings that
 bolt up to a 304 and a t-5. just have to figure out what cars had that combination so i can raid them... as always, i am very open to other ideas and suggestions.
