Ironside Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Pm Bill Hitchner (sp), He makes adaptor plates for GM trannys.4cylinderfury runs a turbo 350 I think, I've always thought a 700r would be a good tranny for our cars.I'm just worried about the size differance.

Bill Hincher Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 This is the GM powerglide/ TH 350/ 400 adapter worksheet, its been in production many years the plate will share one design, the difference will be in how its drilled, I been bouncing around about the thickness, also i tried some new ideas on the starter location. I finally settled on the starter location and thickness is still up to the coupler I want to use, the problem I am wrestling with is the crankshaft bolts. the original M/T crankshaft bolts have a bigger head for more clamping force but they are designed to work with a flywheel 10mm thick, the auto trans bolts are designed to work with a flywheel 3mm thick, If I swap the auto trans bolts for the M/T bolts I will gain in strength but the fingers i used to locate the center of the torque converter will be much thinner, however the thicker coupler will force the trans to be mounted an extra 1/4 back with the adaptor plate so i been bouncing back and forth the original auto trans flex plate was 3 mm thick, my first couplers were 7 mm thick under the bolt headhttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM16.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM17.jpghttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM22.jpg I keep working out details in the new plate, I want it strong but lighthttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM1.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM3.jpghttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM4.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM5.jpg This is my new coupler , it has 10 mm thick flywheel bolt landings and uses the Manual trans boltshttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM6.jpg The flywheel fits okay but the starter depth will need adjustmenthttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/updateGM8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
