[AMC-list] T-96 in Fairlane 289?? (T-86!!)

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

The T-96 is TINY Jim!! I think you're confusing it with a T-86 or T-85. A 289 would rip a T-96 up in a matter of days (if not hours)!! I used one behind a stock 4.0L for a while -- got maybe 500 miles before the synchronizer was ate up -- and it was a fresh rebuilt trans.

I believe I had a T-96 in my '66 Fairlane (3 speed with 289) I swapped it out for a 4 speed side loader (the one with 4th gear as O/D in place of 3rd gear) and I got an adapter to go between that bell and a T5 Mustang trans from Dark Horse Performance in Renton, WA about 10 years ago.
