I have an old homemade oldsmobile rocket 303/324 or Cadillac adapter to 1939 ford 3 speed. I am looking to reproduced a couple and was curious If there is anyone else out there looking for these. It took me a while to find this one. It is exactly like the Offenhauser 0301 adapter but would be steel. I also have the pilot bushing adapter that I am talking with a machine shop to reproduced. With this I am going to make some beefy 303/324 olds motor mounts. The design is from the 50s littlebooks and much stronger then the hurst style as it is .25 plate steel. Just curious as I know these motors are still popular. Doug
Why not water jet them and drill and tap from the original. They should be Blanchard ground. I’d make 10 to start.
Does this adapter do the same thing? https://transmissionadapters.com/pr...92-to-chevy-3-and-4-speed-bellhousings-most-1 I bought a different adapter plate for mine, which was CNC'd by Vintage Machine Works. It was slightly cheaper but goes from a Chevy bell housing to a Ford transmission.
Jimmy, I guess what you're saying is the bolt pattern changed from old Ford to newer? My T5 is from '95, so must be different. AFAIK, the bell housing was the same for old chevys.
Thanks for the idea Jimmy six. I've talked with the machine shop and have a couple ideas. Also got the motor mounts done in cad and have a template in 1/8 plate. Plus fuel pump cover.
could this adapter be used with the speedway ford to t5 adapter to get a 5 speed on my cadillac? does anybody make a t5 to cadillac adapter?
If you look at the photo Douglasb includes. You will see an early Ford transmission, up to 1948, with a ring in between the transmission and Oldsmobile engine. It’s about 3/8” to 1/2” thick. This no connection to what you are showing which is 50 years newer.
Samiri Mike, I would imagine that it would work. I'm just not sure about the input shaft lengh and the shaft the throw out bearing rides on. I picked up a flathead adapter today at Lars and can see what it looks like.
Samira Mike you might want to check the speed gems site as I have one of there t5 to olds kits currently on an olds 303 and it comes with everything needed
