Re: [Amc-list] 64 Rambler Classic question

["Stu Fitchett" <amckiwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your problem would be the Torque Tube (TT)

You either need to mate the auto to the TT or throw away the TT & diff and
install something else

I have gone with the second option and installed a 232 and Toyota 5 speed
and coil sprung with panhard rod fxxd diff into my 64 Classic

When I picked the car up from the machine shop after the conversion the guy
said that he could have married the 5 speed to the TT 

I am happy with the route I took the car handles much much better than it
ever did with the TT rear end

Running a V8 you may need to change your front springs as well although the
later model V8 is much lighter it will still be heavier than the 232

I would also recommend upgrading your brakes to later model disks

I have considered a similar V8 conversion for my ride one day but would
likely use an AMC 360 just because there are so many around

Would this be difficult and wise to put into my 64 Classic? Or should I just
stick with the 232 that's in it?
 I originally decided to leave my 232 in the car, but my transmission is
slipping and I can't  seem to make it right with the adjustment lever at the
carb. I took it to a local transmission shop and they said it would need to
be mechanically repaired.
