A: You would need to find a pre '72 Jeep with TH400 automatic and 6 cyl for 
the ring (and make sure they didn't swap a alter motor in) More likely to 
find one in a FSJ (Wagoneer or pickup) than CJ. I have pics of the Nailhead 
TH400 in my '73 J4000 (as I was installing my '77 AMX's 304) I also heard 
some Postal Jeep (DJs) got the TH400 and 727 after '71 with the smaller bell 
but have not been able to confirm. (I took pics and measurements of a 904 in 
a '72 DJ panel but lost them and the ice cream truck was stolen shortly 
after that)
  For the spring wrap, a solid bar between the diff and springs that is @ 
12" long will cut down spring wrap a LOT!

I have a couple of questions that I need help/advice on. I see
people
talking about a "nailhead" hydramatic transmission for earlier
model cars,
will this transmission fit my 1971 bell housing and if it will
where is the
best place to get one? I'd like one with OD if possible. Since I
installed
the 3.55 gears I'm getting some spring wrap-up on a fast start.
Will just
adding another leaf to the springs solve the problem? Thanks.
