Technical Needing help looking for 8BA 3"OEM bellhousing adaptor to utilize Chevy T5 transmission

Hello HAMB, I am in search of a 8BA 3" OEM bellhousing adapter so i can utilize a T5 transmission i recently picked up. I got it home and figured out I didn't have the right bellhousing. Added pictures of the trans i picked up and the current look at the 28 closed cab pickup build. I also put in a picture of the bellhousing I do have and something similar to what I think I am looking for. Thank you,

 

Yep, you know what you need. But you should put the ad in the classifieds section.

 

another guy with no location in the avatar. could be one a mile away, but how would we know?

 

Sorry rusty, did see a location spot. Got it in there now. Thank you for letting me know.

 

Hello Alchemy, I appreciate the feedback. Haven't posted on here before so having some issues figuring it out. I will look to get this on the classifieds section. Thank you

All Good rusty I totally understand.

 

Yes, thank you Boden. Was hoping to find someone on here that has one and knows it is the right one for my application. I haven't done much dealings on eBay. I have only purchased one thing from there for the project a radiator.

 

From Alchemy's suggestion, I created this thread in the classifieds as well to see if that works better. Thank you all for the suggestions so far. I am new to posting on the HAMB, but have been using it a lot for reference. I look forward to getting a better handle on the workings of the site and interactions with you all in the future. I can use the help and guidance through this build.

 

Let me see if I can find a link

i actually have several, but the shipping would be high. they are not that rare, see if you can find one close to home, or give me a pm

 

this guy says he has 30 blocks, and it has a phone # https://olympic.craigslist.org/pts/d/sequim-ford-flathead-engines/7093580554.html

 

Rusty, I actually have been looking at that add for a while, I have reached out to them, but got no response. Thank you for sending that link though. I search local pretty much Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon almost daily

 

Thank you Boden

 

I got this adapter plate to use on the stamped steel bell housing on an 8BA

 

That adapter plate would be great so I could use the bellhousing I have. I was looking for one of those, but couldn't find anyone making something like that for this application?

 

Did you try the phone number in the ad?

I think speedway has them under ford to Chevy trans adapter part # 5605173

 

Speedway adapter is here. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Offe...-Trans-to-Ford-Bellhousing-Adapter,20628.html
Still that is probably equivalent to buying the Mercury/Ford truck ring and the hogshead style adapter.
Plus now you can use the starter you have and don't have to dink with that.

 

Actually, in the "wanted" section. Hope you have good luck with your hunt.

 

Thank you Flathead Dave

 

Thank you Steve appreciate the feedback.

 

Thank you Mr48Chev this looks like what I am really after to be able to use the bellhousing I have instead of having to get but this adapter and then the other speedway mount kit.

 

I think I got what I am looking for from Mr48Chev. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Offe...-Trans-to-Ford-Bellhousing-Adapter,20628.html

Looks to be exactly what I need to be able to use what I already have. I really appreciate everyone trying to help out. This was a wonderful experience. I look forward to doing this more often through my build.

 

Good morning 1946caddy, I think I sent an email asking for the specific part i was looking for. I typically dont call unless I know it is exactly what I am looking for.

 

Yep, looks like Steve noted the same part # as Mr48 Chev. Thank you guys

Thank you Boden that is a bit of help on the price as well

 

Just noticed those are both for Ford T5's do we know if they will work for a Chevy s10 T5?
