Hi Cullen,
I need to take a closer look at why TU is not currently rendering 
pages... anyway, the critical pieces of info from Dan's article that you 
probably can't really get elsewhere is this:

The particular AMC tailhousing needed for the "no cutting" installation has the 
Tail Housing casting
number 13-52-066-901  (on left side of tail housing). Information supplied by 
Jim Morrison is that
this housing (tailshaft) was used on 2 WD 1982-1983 AMC Concord or Spirit.
The AMC Trans should have a tag on one of the tail housing bolts with the 
number 13-52-001 (the B-W
part number for the complete trans, the actual number is 13-52-000-001 but the 
tags didn't use the
000 on it.)
The Chevy Chevette used the T-5 and the part number is 13-52-005.This, to my 
knowledge, is the
only other T-5 (2 wheel drive) to put the shifter in the same location as the 
AMC, but with a shorter
tail housing.


- The other information in Dan's article is, as far as I know, fairly 
common knowledge.  Probably the most useful T5 core is the Ford 
Motorsports one with the 2.95 first and 0.63 or 0.80 fifth; do NOT use 
non-World-Class versions of the gearbox;  the common Mustang gearbox 
with the 3.35 first is not as strong and first runs out pretty quickly 
but it's commonly available from Mustang guys. i have one in my Tiger, 
with 3.31 diff gears, and I use second in autocross starts.

Let me know if there's anything else I can dig up for you.

Cheers,
Theo
