[Spits] OD question

[Kevin Rhodes]

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.
