looking for an adapter, any help?

i gotta a buddy that needs to mate up a 53 331 hemi to an early ford top loader ******. where can a guy find one? has the 331 but still needs the ****** too, if any one has any leads.

thanx fellas, rural

thought i'd try it here first. then the cl***ifieds huh?

 

Wilcap has a lot of adapters

 

Transdapt

look under engine and trans mounts, plates and kits

 

Try hothemiheads.com or check PAW's Early Hemi catalog.

 

All good places to check, Wilcap and Hothemiheads are excellent as well as Transdapt. Also Ron Ceridono's Hemi Book (published by Tex Smiths Hotrod Library) is an excellent resource to have. The extended bellhousings from '51 to '53 were a pain in the *** to do much with unless a flat plate is mounted to it with the necessary holes in it for the trans bolts and input shaft, manual trans that is. I always preferred the '54 and later ones but now, any Hemi is a good Hemi)!! Good Luck with yours!!
