In my search for information on this subject, I found that
some AMC V8 cranks are not drilled for a pilot shaft and thus 
will not work with manual transmissions.  Manual transmission 
V8s will work with autos.  I forgot where I found this information 
but I also remember that this mostly applied to the 401s and 
not many of them at that.  AMC drilled most of there crankshafts 
but I guess not all.

	Okay, fellow Digesters, I have a few questions.  First, in the
discussion
	of the AMC engine switch, someone mentioned that a manual
transmission
	equipped engine would not work with an auto; is this for the AMC
models, or
	for International, or what.
