flathead to 5 speed tech?

hey guys,

doing a search ive run across a few posts discusing products and results but im failing to find an actual tech article with some pix of doing it? im sure it cant be all that hard as its just adapters but as often as it comes up and for what a good conversion it is id think a tech article would be great to have around

if ive missed it in my search can somebody link me?

thanx

What kinda trans are you planning on using? Tell us what your planas are?

no solid plan right now but i was thinking 53 v8 block to s-10 5 speed.

oh and for linkage concerns its a 53' customline curently having the 3 speed w/ overdrive

but im mostly looking for the motor/trani info

 

I used an adapter from flatattack to mate up to a Toyota 5 speed gearbox.
Works real good, nice bit of kit.

 

Try Cornhusker Rod & Custom, they have what you need.

 

Dwight Bond in Gibbon NE is another good source.

 

I used a cast iron 8BA bellhousing and had it modded slightly to accept a Toyota stell case 5 speed.

Works like a champ....have pix somewhere but need to dig em up !!

I found a 'rodder' that put a set of 'prints' together for guy's like us, this is a full set of plans (read - tech) that is easy to follow.
