Re: [AMC-list] 304 manual transmission circa 71 or 72

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

'71-'73 saw the option for 304 in FSJs but most chose the 360 instead. The early motors didn't have a crankshaft centering "ridge" around the pilot hole like '72 up did. They used the outer edge of the crank flange and a step in the back of the flywheel with a pilot bearing in the flywheel. 
   If the motor had the TH400 with adapter ring, like my '73 J4000 did, then there is a crank spacer that needs to be removed to access the pilot hole.

" If I can see thru the haze in my mind I believe B/W auto trans used a small pilot. 
" Not much bigger than a bushing in a normal crank. That is for the sixes in the late 60's.

" Now the Buick/AMC/early Rambler/ Jeep engines had a larger hole and a bushing for the turbo 400. 

and iirc for later amc/jeep, you remove that bushing for a mopar
converter.

" The question is what did they do with the 304? When did it get stuffed into Jeeps? 

'73? almost as soon as they took jeep over.
