i'm surprised and pleased to learn this.  the only 4sp tf with an amc
bell afaik is the 42re and i'd understood it was difficult/impossible
to de-electronify the o/d on them.  good to know that's wrong!

otoh someone [donato maybe?] has started advertising 47rh/48rh built
for bear and fitting several engines including amc...  but they
definitely require converter-housing surgery to do it.  iirc they were
cutting and welding the cases.
