small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
Does anybody make an adapter that allows an early Ford transmission to be bolted up to a 289-302 small block Ford?
Adapters exist for late 50's Fords, Chevys, Cadillacs and even Chrysler Hemis but I can't locate one for a 302 Ford (post 1965-6 bolt). Seems strange. |

Check this one out over on the H.A.M.B. The seller also posts here on the Barn.

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
2ndgeer,
They're not currently being produced so you'll have to hunt for one. I managed to score one for a 6 bolt motor at Moultrie a couple of years ago for $75 but haven't seen another before or since. Surprising that offy or wilcap or one of the other outfits hasn't seen the need (or market) for one. Rich |

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
Several of you guys didn't see where I said post-1965 6-bolt small block Ford. These engines are, of course, the overwhelming majority of SMB Fords, including all the 302's.
I know that a 5-bolt adapter exists (as in the sale item) but it is only useful for the early mid-60s 221, 260 and 289 versions. It may well be that no one has ever made one for the commonplace SBF? |

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
I mounted a '54 O.D. tranny to my '75 F-150 when the truck was new.
The trucks and the 351 equipped cars use cast-iron bells which have bosses cast into them where the early tranny boltpattern holes would be. I cut the face off an early tranny and used it as a guide for drilling the holes into the bell. I them tapped the holes. This was a long time ago but as I remember the only other things I had to do was find a front bearing retainer of the correct diameter to fit the the center hole in the bell and have a longer pilot bushing turned out of oillite bronze to reach out to the input shaft. I've since seen these long pilot bushings for sale at different places, including e-pay. It was pretty straight forward. Quote:

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
2ndgear,I know I'm a little slow,but are you looking for an adapter for a 5 bolt or a 6 bolt bell?You keep mentioning post 6 bolt but for a 302,and since all 302s are 6 bolt I'm confused.

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
I could really use a 5 bolt version if anyone has one.

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
2ndgeer, have you posted in "wanted" at HAMB? I needed the same adapter you're asking for and posted there. I got a reply (and eventual transaction) the next day. Good luck.

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
I see people say they did not make one. I picked one up on ebay couple months ago (hope it is correct) , it is new old stock and it was made by Trans-Dapt #690291 but I don't think they make them anymore. If you email me to my personal email I can try to find his name and phone number he says there is a company that does make them but not cheep. This guy seemed to know his stuff and he was very nice [email protected] I am not a mechanic so I am doing my best and going by what people tell me

Re: small block Ford to early Ford transmission adapter
1st gen would fit the 221, 260, and the early 289 motors manufactured through August of 1964. Quite a few 5-bolters made it into 1965 models before being used up.
