************************************
There is no magic here. I have a "J" type in my 70 GT now. The OD
mainshaft is common with the Spit , as well as the adaptor and the mounting
plate (and in fact you could get at one time, rebuilt GT6 trannys with "J"
type overdrive mainshafts from Victoria British). You just have to find the
CORRECT frame to tranny mounting plate that was only used for a few years.
Driveshafts would also interchange, so nothing would have to be
fabricated/modified. You just have to select the right parts from the part
bins.
