Re: [Amc-list] Rear End Swap

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

IF they're both sixes, and both the same leaf spring mount, should
drop in. Watch axle ratios -- to be safe take the speedo gear from the
donor too.

I think later 70's is when AMC switched over to "Iso Mount" but it's
pretty easy to ID. Non-iso's are a simple leaf spring with U-bolts.
The Isomount has rubber pads top and bottom and a slightly more
complex clamp system. They swap if you take all the parts as-is with
one exception: Iso-mount car leaf springs have a longer center bolt
(that locates the axle into the spring) that hits the axle tube.
Change it, or hacskaw it down.
