you must mean -1979-...		;^>

" Prior to that 
" the "universal" model TH-400 (same as the Buick "Nailhead" case/bell -- 
" it was also sold as the universal to other makers because the shallow 
" bell left plenty of room for an adapter -- the old Buick Nailhead had a 
" deep flange on the back of the block) was used with a cast iron adapter 
" ring 1.5"-2" thick. The ring was used mostly with the AMC 327 (65-67 in 
" FSJs), but some Jeep sites report that a similar setup was used with 
" 71-72 AMC V-8s. The 327 has a different bolt pattern than later AMC 
" V-8s, of course.

oddly, the universal/nailhead case was also used with the buick 350
powered '68-'71 jeeps - i've seen one, and it totally boggled me.

i knew that!  the mitchell interchange shows this also.  it just
doesn't say how many...

it also suggests that a few ohc230s may have gotten th400s in '65, as
they were transitioning to the amc 232.
