Re: [AMC-list] My upgrades/conversions

Keep in mind this is a torque tube car. Finding a tranny you can bolt to 
a given engine is going to be a lot easier than finding a non-stock 
tranny that bolts to the torque tube. The entire drive line can be 
replaced to switch to an open drive shaft but that is a lot of work. 
Also, it's likely this car has a T-96 in it if its a manual and given 
how weak those are and how hard parts are getting to come across, I 
think in this case it's best to leave well enough alone.
