Re: [AMC-list] FMX

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At the swap meet last week I saw an FMX with a C6 tag on it for $100 but it was missing the converter. (I let him know the reason it wasn't selling was because a C6 is integral bell/case) I think the AOD is closer to the M37 than the FMX. E4OD is another story (which works well when the computer is properly updated and mods are done to them)
   I still haven't found anyone interested in anything from the M37 core trans (rear band was improperly installed by the PO and stuck engaged while driving) I figured someone might want the converter for a core. I'm planning to visit a trans shop or two in the near future with all my cores (still have 2 more to pull)
   I also still have the Borg Flexplate from the 232 (late model style in a Postal Jeep) to M11 trans we put in the '68 Rebel.

that was it!  i met jock years ago at an albany ny show and he told me
of the fmx then.

the aod evolved from the fmx, and i wonder how adaptable it'd be to
older amcs...  though i believe it has an integral bell.  also,
follow-on 4r70w replaced the fmx planetary with a wide-ratio set, and
i wonder if that would retrofit, to either fmx or iron warner?
