'64 Rambler Ambassador Trans Options

   Hello, I have a 287/327 Manual Bellhousing and a complete Borg Warner T-88e OD tranny from a 64 Classic 770 2 dr HT I believe will work for you if you choose to go manual with OD.  I have the torque tube adapter for the transmission to torque tube as well.  I also have a complete rebuild kit and small parts kit for the transmission.  I was going to use it on my 65 Classic 770 2 dr HT, but decided to get rid of the torque tube ( a lot of work in retrospect) and put in a 73 Nova SS rear end, 5 leaf Camaro springs and thinking of using a 351W and C-4 or AOD for power.  Only reason for the Ford was the Distributor is up front and had one available to build and the tranny is relatively small.  

If interested in any of the 64 Rambler stuff, send me a private message and we can work on what you might need.

	I need to make a correction on my transmission response for 64-66 287-327 V8s, I goofed and put T-88 OD and really is a T-86 Overdrive, which is the same as T-90's used in other heavy duty applications and Fords. The V-8 bellhousing is now sold, but I still have the T-86 OD with new idler, new cluster, and complete seal and small parts kit, along with transmission tailshaft to torque tube adapter available. The parts are NOS and perfect. The small parts kit came with a set of baseball cards in it. They may be worth more than the parts!! I also have all the SS trim, steering column, steering wheel and other parts for a 64 770 Classic 2 Dr. HT available and taking up space in my shed and garage. Shoot a private message to let me know if interested in any of what's left. I just want to see it back in or on a Rambler!!! Thanks.
