Re: [AMC-list] best automatic behind

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

There are crank adapters made to put the later transmission on an 
earlier motor but I think the one you need requires machining the crank. 
I'm not 100% sure on that so you should look into it. A lot of the AMC 
vendors sell those things and hopefully Nick Alfano will join in and 
correct me if i'm wrong.
