64 to 72 6cyl transmission auto options

Is there a 904, or any other BW trans that will bolt up to a pre 72 AMC 199 or 232 6? Starter on the drivers side as you know. Would the bellhousing from the existing m35 bolt to an m11 or m12?

thanks

Assuming it is the nailhead pattern TH400, it would be hard to find all the right bits - if it did exist.

Thanks for the replies ,

sorry forgot to mention no longer torque tube . just wanting to use same engine (for now)but a beefier trans than the  35. The 390 AMX,Javelins used a Cast iron M12 for drag racing ,that 6 will never come close to that much torque even if I turbo'd,supercharged and give her a 250 shot of Nitrous all at once ! Since the bellhousings on these transmissions bolt on I thought someone may have tried this. Try and find an AMC trans for a  pre 72 6 cyl that used an open driveshaft (rebels,hornets,gremlins,ambassadors) in Ontario. good luck with that. I have placed want ads, only response is from US or western Canada. shipping is worth more that a post 72 6 cyl with the transmission attached! There's my answer.

Looks like an new engine/trans  for the old girl . Maybe a a toyota 2JZ turbo !oh,oh, I'll have to assemble with the "others" in the FrankenRambler  section and on and on and on and on ..........................

boy i gotta find a hobby!

The AW4 would indeed be a nice upgrade! You don't have to use the computer -- I've been using a simple switch box for mine for over a decade (since 2002). If you have a console and arm rest where you can mount a rotary switch it works great -- if not it would be a PITA. You put the column (or floor) lever in "D" then use the switch to change gears, both up and down. Mine is wired as to switch the four gears with an independent rocker switch for the lock-up converter. You can leave the lock-up on, but need to let off the gas when shifting from 2 to 3 or it jerks a little. Won't lock in first, and no engine braking in 1 or 2 (unless you have the shift lever in 3... only engine brakes in top two gears), so you can down-shift at any speed. Easy to switch down to 1 or 2 when coming to a stop. I've considered wiring it as a "five speed" by eliminating the lock-up switch and wiring so it shifts 1, 2, 3, 3 with lock-up, 4 with lock-up. That would make it much simpler. I just use a couple diodes on the switch now, would need one or two more to wire in "five speed" mode. There is about a 150-200 rpm drop when locking the converter, not quite as much as another real gear would be.

As far as finding an M-8 (57-62) trans without torque-tube.... you don't need to. The rear seal and splines are the same as an open driveshaft. You just need a yoke to fit (same as the T-89 three speed/T-10 four speed on the M-8, IIRC).  So you'll have the two "ears" on the side where the TT mounted, or the square flange in the case of the 63-66 big cars... big deal!
