IIRC the AMC 20 from even a big car will fit (67-78 Matador, etc.). It's
actually about 2" wider, but deeper offset tires will work fine. New
model Mustang wheels have a deep offset. Just get longer grade 8 bolts
for the spindles and space them out about another inch. I used large
grade 8 nuts that slipped over the bolts for spacers on the front of
mine, and that was just right (I think they are 1/2" nuts). A Javelin
axle will be about the right width for stock wheels. 

I'm writing an article about putting the rack and pinion in for the next
AIM. I really don't recommend it. It's a lot of work and there really
isn't any gain. It's much easier to put a modern style power steering
box in, and you can get a GM quick ratio box for about the same price as
a rack and pinion, without all the work.

The torque tube mount doesn't matter. The seal and output shaft is the
same, torque tube or open driveline. You just have a big square flange
on the back of the trans since it's made onto the tailshaft. On the OD,
the flange comes off, but it's still holds the seal. Easy to swap to an
open drive tailshaft though -- output shaft length is the same. I think
it is for non-OD models also, that reduced parts inventory, but I can't
be sure between years. 

If this is a six cylinder model trans, it will bolt to the multi-pattern
77-80 bell. Otherwise it needs a T-10 bell. I think it's a different
pattern than the T-15 used 67 and later. Andrew Hay might know for
sure...

I don't think this will work because of the torque tube mount; I'd need
a
regular yoke setup.  Don't know if it's a simple matter of taking that
off,
maybe someone here can elaborate.  I'd still need to come up with the
correct tailshaft, yoke, and bellhousing IF a later bell would work as a
bolt-on with this trans.  That's why I like to find complete setups that
I
know have/will work together.

Anyone know if a '71 up bell mount to this transmission?
