I own a 40 Ford Tudor that had a flathead but I wanted a little more power so I installed a Chevy 283 with aluminum bellhousing and a T5 14 spline...
Hi, everyone! Well I found the correct T 5 transmission from an S 10, 1352-145. I tried to order the adapter plate to my Ford bell housing but...
The clutch can work with the trans adapter for the Chevy trans bolt pattern, you just need to get the correct clutch disc to match you original...
That's what had me confused when I look at the adapter and was trying to figure out why this was $20 more than the other one which looked exactly...
Well It has a 3.73 open rear and the only reason I didn't want the Ford T5 was the shifter location being too fat back or so I have read. That is...
;The heads are 8BA how can you tell the block date?
This is the setup that was in the car when I got it. No starter problems and I was told the motor was a 53?
[IMG] This is what mine looks like but it's still in the car.
It is from a 53 sedan and it's steel. That's why I wanted to use it and just put and adapter between it and the S10 T5
Do you know where I can get the correct mounting plate?
Did you want to sell that transmission? I'm looking for one with the manual speedometer?

So does disc brake mike have a good converstion kit, because we work on it together, I did it 2 years ago and it works great!
I am redoing my 53 Chieftain, it currently has a 55 Pontiac 287 but I'm upgrading to a 64 389 Pontiac 303hp. Now she'll really get goin!
Ok, so now that I know what I need does anyone have a bellhousing and flywheel they want to part with for my Pontiac?
Ok, that helps out a lot. It much cheaper to go with the block starter and 65 to 76 bellhousing than trying to get a 64 to match the engine. I...
I checked out the engine and it does have 2 bolt holes for a starter to mount on the drivers side of the engine block. Does that mean that I can...
the slim jim was attached to the engine when I get it. I have a 59 bell housing and a 4 speed saginaw that I still wanted to try to use, but I...
