Any HAMB member help me with any info, pictures, data, specs on a Transdapt #KD25 Bell Housing Adapter for a 55-64 Caddy (331-390) to GM 4 speed. If anyone has knowledge of this bell housing I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. I have an opportunity to buy one with a new pilot bushing and want as much info and pictures on it as I can get. Thanks, Mike
No info except any original adapter is a rare find for that 2nd generation Cad OHV-8 I expect you will get some PM's from potential buyers
I would jump on that. buddy of mine had one years ago I will ask him if he still has it and try to get a pic jf he does.
Here is what my book says about the KD25. Fits Cad 55-64's and you must use a 54-56 Olds flywheel and pressure plate with a 57-60 Cad starter #1107657 12 volt. Hope this helps. No pics. Super rare. I would buy it for sure.
vtwhead, thank you for the great info on this trans adapter. Plans are to pick up this piece next week. Mike
no--it's a 153 if memory serves. nobody's making them and the NOS/used pool is getting pretty slim. I found one about 10 years ago and ran it for a while on a schaffer flywhell via a cragger adapter, but ended up changing out the whole setup after I went through 3 6-v caddy starters in short order.
the 54-56 olds flywheel is 176. The older 303 Olds stick flywheel from 50-53 is the smaller one. The 54-56 is harder to find if you want original Olds pieces, but Ross racing has new ones. i think i have a NOS 176 ring gear here somewhere
We have approx 500 176 tooth ring gears in stock for the Olds .... And I always keep a fair amount of 145 tooth as well.... And as FJ says we make new flywheels as well..... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
