    Has anyone seen an adapter plate like this? I believe it to be for a Gen 2 hemi, but don't know beyond that....thoughts? things I could check? 306627030_10160369635130365_2660595219334608459_n.jpg 306743473_10160369635070365_5381227332910281571_n.jpg

    That crank flange adapter says EarlyHemi but the very small bore says 'what-the-hell-converter is it' ??

    The crankshaft hub adapter looks like the one I have for an early hemi, as the flywheel or torque converter registered on the outside of the crank flange on all of them. The fact the starter mount is part of the bell housing adapter makes me think this is for use with a non Chrysler transmission.
    Fyi, all second generation Hemis share transmission bolt pattern with the B and RB engines.
    Edit, I type to slow. 73rr beat me to the reply

    Perhaps it is just an odd collection of 'stuff'...The flexplate is obviously 426, the crank flange adapter looks more like what I would expect for a manual trans/flywheel and the starter mount is ??????
    You might start with a local trans shop and see if the block plate bolt pattern matches anything.
