I remember changing the oil in a 69 Oldsmobile, when I was a teenager working in a gas station. It was a 3-speed on-the-column and it had a factory-installed Ford Toploader. I've seen them in Pontiac's too. I've also see Ford's with Factory installed Rochester Quadrajets. AMC's were always full of GM, Ford, and Chrysler parts. Back in the day, Rolls Royce's had GM Turbo 400's in them. There's always been lots of parts sharing, but I think this sharing in the development is fairly recent thing. I think this is the third transmission project that GM and Ford have worked together on, in the last ten years.
