Possible. Jaguar did.


And Jensen... far easier to buy a slushbox in from a country that
used them in the vast majority of vehicles, I suppose. Shame it
didn't work both ways and the US didn't import manual 'boxes from
Europe!


Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Jensen use MoPar power? Far more
likely in that case that they used the TF727 rather than try to make a
GM trans fit a Chrysler engine (although it's been done before; e.g.
65-66 Studebaker used special bellhousings to fit Studebaker/Ford
transmissions to GM engines...)
