Cast on the driver side of trans is

The D300 looks like its attached to a " texas " pattern adapter

Thanks for any help.

Yea I searched last night!

That would be an AMC v8, 290 cid - a precursor to the 304

Not sure of the tranny

You sure that's a dana 300 and not a 20?

Or a Scout 300?

is the tranny cast iron or aluminum?

the adapter that bolts between a T-176 and a D300 kinda looks like a texas pattern...but its not. my guess is a T-176. matt

Mo ,Thanks for the motor ID. Would you know what years that they ran? Might need parts.

I'll check the trans / transfer in the light tomorrow,

:beer:

66-69

well it looks like I have a dana 20 from the pics i found on the web.:(
So all we have left to ID 100% is the trans.
It measures 10" in length and is aluminum cased.
Thanks for the help so far for ID,ing the rest of the drive train.

highlander,
You have a T170 FT series trans. It's a 1980-1984 Tremec with one of the following ratios:
T176- 3.52/2.27/1.46/1.00/3.52R
T177-3.82/2.29/1.46/1.00/3.82R
T178-3.01/2.08/1.47/1.00/3.01R
AMC and Jeep used these. The last one above was seen in autos. I've never seen that ratio in a Jeep. Maybe the 290 and car trans was swapped from an AMC car though.
"Top loaded transmission with tower shift, sandcast aluminum case and diecast aluminum cover. Case and cover castings #C2604xxx. Synchronized on all forward gears with sliding gear reverse incorporated in the 1st/2nd synchronizer clutch. May be familiar to customers as the Ford 'RUG' transmission (but with different ratios)." or.......
Ford used this 'RUG' transmission (with a cast iron case) from 1964-78. commonly referred to as the Ford 'Top loader'. Two distinct versions, the '64-73 direct drive, and the 1977-78 overdrive, are covered. Externally similar, they may be distinguished by the Ford-style casting numbers on the direct drive, and Tremec (#260xxxx) castings on the overdrive models.
1979-83 Tremec 170FS (RUG) aretop loaded overrdrive transmissions with single-rail shift and extension mounted turret for the floor lever. Aluminum case with #260xxxx casting. Designed with an enclosed shifter to reduce shift problems, the enclosed design eliminates the option of using aftermarket shifters.
1964-73 Tremec 170F (RUG) 2.32/1.69/1.29/1.00/2.32R
2.78/1.93/1.36/1.00/2.78R T170F
1977-78 Tremec 170F (RUG) 3.29/1.84/1.00/0.81/3.29R T171F
1979-83 Tremec 170FS(RUG) 3.29/1.84/1.00/0.81/3.29R T171FS
3.07/1.72/1.00/0.70/3.07R T174FS
You have one of the above. 8<)
regards, as always, jefe

Thanks for the ID help. Now I know what I'm working with :beer: :beer:
