    I'm trying get a Cad/Lasalle trans. to match up to a 270 Dodge Red Ram Hemi. Has anyone seen trans adapters around for this application? I spoke with the great guys at Wilcap yesterday, and they said go with the Chevy to Lasalle adapter bellhousing and then use the Hemi to Chevy trans adapter. They also said that there is older adapters out there Craigslist, swap meets, etc. Any help? Thanks.

    Bell is the same as the 392. A 392 to Cad adaptor would work, but, Wilcap knows what they are talking about. Might want to follow thier comments.

    Pat did my flathead to lasalle adaptation and it was the only thing on the car that bolted up and worked right the first time. I would do what Pat says.

    Slayer - Is it for sale?
    greazhonkey, scootermcrad, George - Pat at Wilcap knows what's up.
    TomWar - Remember who produced it (Almquist, J.C. Whitney, Honest Charley, etc)

    Thanks.
     
  9. As said dodge, desoto and chrysler all have the same bell housing bolt pattern. that should broaden your search
