The transmission will bolt on to the motor, but the transmission
mount is different, and the driveshaft for the O/D trans is
considerably shorter.
My car has a '77 chassis and O/D transmission, but a '69 1296 motor.
I needed a '74 flywheel to mate the engine and transmission
correctly. '74 had the smaller crank bolts but the right clutch
diameter. So I think there will be no issues going from '75 to '76.
