Yes this I know. The AMC TH400 is slightly tilted to the passengers side. Jeep did this to run the QT.
Dana 20...TH400 adapter or not?

PC, It's Chevy or BOP allright, but original??
Not a chance in my book. Someone swapped it out and allready did the conversion to a chevy case it looks to be. J20BP Drivetrain...........

That looks to be a Chevy Bolt patern NOT BOP. What exactly are we trying to see and do here, somehow I am lost on this. If you need a Pic of the BOP transmision and BOP to Nailhead adapter I can do that for you. I would also add there is NO crank spacer for the converter on the Nailhead patern transmision, . I have two Nailhead Patern transmisions and two BOP to Nailhead adapters, 4 TH400 to D20 Adapters, and I can get the AMC to Nailhead adapter as well. So if I could just understand what in the name of FSJ we are trying to do here, I can Help I am sure In Fact I will go take some Pics of the Nailhead bolt patern and adapter and post them so we can get a good idea as to what it all looks like I have a feeling not many have seen this setup before.Daily Driver 2008 Wrangler Sahara

As the originator of the topic, I need to know exactly all the parts I will need to go from a 401 to a th400/dana 20 combo. I have the dana 20 and adapter to the th400. I am also in the process of purchasing a th400 with the tranny to block adapter as well as the flexplate spacer.
So I think I have everything figured out from the tranny back. I now will have the correct output shaft. Now I need to know what it takes to bolt up the nailhead tranny to my amc 401.1971 J-4800 Dauntless 350/t18/d20/D44/D60

Here is a BIG PIC of the adapters and Nailhead Patern. BOP and Nailhead bolt paterns and Adapters!!!
If you notice the Nailhead TH400 without the Adapter the Torque Converter sticks out from the belhousing with the adapter on....it is flush, this being the reason the nonexistent Crank spacer does not exist. Next is the Bolt patern, until AMC cased the TH400 with their own case, ALL previous TH400 were Nailhead bolt patern, and would not EVER BOLT up to any engine Jeep ever used without the adapter ring for the specific engine used. Such as the AMC 327, Buick 350, and AMC 360, adapter rings were needed for each of these engines, each being different, 3 different adapters were used. There is the Tailshaft with the O ring seal and Spud shaft to hook up the D20 to the TH400. Hope this helps everyone that is confused on this subject

It also has a really deep pan, deeper than mine, that has the standard GM writing on it.
That torque-converter looks like it's sticking out pretty far. Comparing that pattern to the BOP-nailhead adapter pictures posted, I'd say Porkchop has a nailhead-pattern tranny in that '70.1987 J-20

Nothing confuseing really. I will explain it clearer this time. Jeep NEVER EVER EVER used a BOP Patern Transmision in ANY Jeep........ It was a Buick NAILHEAD only bolt patern. The Only way Jeep was able to hook up the Nail Head transmision was through an adapter ring Like I have pictured here, a different adapter was used for each different bolt patern used. AMC 327, and BOP for the Buick 350, and the later standardized AMC bolt patern. 3 different adapters in all. NAILHEAD Adapter
UMMM This look familiar??? I pulled a 454 from a Chevy Pick up this TH400 was behind it. Looks like your pic! Chevy Bolt paternDaily Driver 2008 Wrangler Sahara
