Inliners International Forums General Discussion MOPAR T-5 ADAPTER FOR FLATHEAD 6?

anybody know if someone is making an adapter to run a t-5 transmission behind a mopar flathead 6 cylinder???

Don't know if there is an adpter made for the mopar six but I installed one in a '38 Dodge six and wrote an article on it that came out in the 12 port news Mar/Apr 2000 issue. Drove the '38 Dodge bus.cpe. to Detroit for the Inliners Conv. and it made an excellant trip with gas mileage in the mid 20ies and ran anywhere from 55 to 75 mph. Its a great additions to the L head six.

It wasn't too difficult,ofcourse I had the car totally apart. You can contact Jack Halton about back issues of the 12 port news. If you should get the issue I'll be glad to discuss any question .....Bo

Tom Langdon at Stovebolt Engine company makes an adapter kit for a T-5 to Flathead setup. It consists of a thin metal ring that fits over the input shaft housing, a bronze bushing for the flywheel/input shaft nose, and a bronze bushing for the throwout bearing. You could probably figure out the sizes and buy the parts from a power transmission outfit, but Tom's a great guy to do business with, and why re-invent the wheel? He has a website, think it's www.stoveboltengineco.com.
