Technical Ford Engine to Chevy Trans Adapter

This may be a little different: does anyone know of an aftermarket adapter to mate a Ford 226 flathead 6 to a 48 or later Chevy truck transmission. Thanks.

 

TransDapt does not list them in the old catalog pages...not surprising, the idea was usually to put in a better engine....

 

You need a flat six ford bellhousing for a light duty F1 truck 48 to 52 and a flathead to chevy transmission adapter

Here is a link to a source for Ford flathead six parts and information. Modern Driveline has information describing the belhousings, and adapters.

Thanks all.

And I hear what you’re saying Jim. I’m thinking outside the box. . You see so many Chevy engines in Fords, I think it would be interesting to turn it around. (My colleagues on the Stovebolt forums may not appreciate it. )

 

There is a reason you see so many Chevy engines in Fords you know. I would think the guys on the Stovebolt forums would take up a collection to send you to get some help to straighten out your thinking
