T5 adapter plate for a 292... Where do I get one?

Hey all. I am in need of an adapter plate for a 292 I am using with a 88 s-10 t5. The 292 is out of a 69 chevy C-10. I seen a few places that sell them for the 235 and 261, but no 292... I have the original bellhousing, and it measures at 4-1/2". Please let me know. Thanks!

 

The big hole you want is 4-5/8...An adapter that bolts to a 216,235,261 belhousing for the tranny mounting will bolt to a 292 house,same tranny bolt pattern.
You don't really need an adapter, many have used the S10 tranny by shortening the clutch shaft slightly and fussing with the splines,drilling the tranny bolt holes to 1/2 inch,all done with hand tools.Do a search here.Some bellhousings have a larger center hole after 1967 or so,recheck the hole diameter.

 

If you have a bell housing with too large a center hole for your trans bearing retainer diameter, you can buy a spacer ring from various sources. One of which is Adnavce Adapters.

i think novak sells those spacer rings also. check out pirate 4x4 and bet your gonna find one cheap there.

 

Sorry I thought he was looking for and adapter for an Y-Block Ford when I origianlly typed this, I live in the 292/312 Ford world, Sorry. John Mummert has them. He has ones that are made specifically for the Y-Block to put the trans mount flat , and tip the shifter towrds the driver a little, which helps in most applications. His website is FordY, and he specializes in High Performance Y-Block Parts. He is a sharp guy and really hard worker to build all the specilized parts he offers.

 

Thanks for adding Novak........actually that's who I meant when I typed Advance......sad, really sad....memory is the first thing to go......don't recall the second!

(I bought my spacer ring from Novak about 6 months ago)

Hello...I have done this with my 292 and a T5, all's you need is the right bellhousing, I used one from a 60's style truck the one that has the rear mounts on it, I think from the late 50's to mid 60's, if you get one of these there is NO machineing required, everything is bolt on...Goodluck
