Absolutely. I can't think of any transmission I'd LIKE that would fit 
behind the old six pattern. (What's the choice, the BW autos, T96, T14, 
anything else at all? Funky old Nash crashboxes don't count :-)

And luckily those are common enough. The 'tall deck' years are in there 
too, right? Damn, someone needs to go through the TSMs and Datson books 
and type all that crap into one huge-a** spreadsheet so we have it all 
in one place! bore stroke rod length pin height deck height ... not 
rocket science. Four people in a room with beer and keyboards could get 
it done in an afternoon.
