Re: [AMC-List] rambler hot rod // backwards six

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: The later Caddy V8 (including Northstar) uses a 60 degree pattern, same 
as the 2.8L Chev V6 and AMC 2.5L. (I hear the Chev 2.5L had 2 different bolt 
patterns) I don't think there is enough room (at the bellhousing) to swap an 
AMC motor into the BOP TH425 or later Caddy FWD trans.


Anyone know if the early AMC 6 cyls were the same pattern as anything else? 
Took a long time to "nail" down the FACT the early Jeep TH400s were nailhead 
trannies (I finally did the match up)

" 4.1L V-6 (larger version of the 231 -- I wonder if SBC
pattern?)

they're both buicks, with the b-o-p pattern.  some time in the
mid
'80s, fwd 3.8s started using the little gm pattern that the amc
four
has, but only in transverse apps afaik.
