| Post subject: | transmission adaptor plate |
How are the small block A727 to \6 adaptor plates attached to the block? I removed 3 of the 4 flex plate bolts to separate the transmission by about 2". I can't see any other bolts attaching the adaptor plate to the motor block, is there a trick to removing the plate? I'd like to swap in a O/D auto transmission behind a \6. http://www.mindspring.com/~tkeith/transadaptor.jpg |

I'm no authority, but I'd guess you need to look for some countersunk, flathead allen bolts threaded into the block from the trans side of the plate. You may have to seperate a bit further to see them. Roger |

That's what I assumed. The motor is stuck and still in a chassis and half in the mud, it would sure be easier if the transmission could be removed... |

I've only taken one of those apart and that was like 25 yrs ago. I have a hard enough time remembering what i did last month. |

You definitely need to pull the trans back a bit. There are standard bolts (hex head cap screws) holding the plate to the block (just as if you had a 904 bolted up) and you need pull the motor forward with the trans unbolted, or pull the trans back before you can get to them. I have a pic somewhere if I can find it when I get back home. The plate I have and all I've seen are 1 1/8" thick so there is plenty of room for regular bolt heads. Is this thing in a junkyard? Lou |

I got the plate off, there are three 9/16" hex bolts. Pretty easy to remove I suppose, although I couldn't see the bolts. I got the plate at Johns Salvage in Seguin, Texas. I think I may find some more of these. John asked $45.00 for this plate. If anyone is in that area John has an Aspen station wagon with an 833 O/D with a 318. I have only seen the O/D transmission coupled to a slant six. This might be a fun hauler for someone. Body is in good shape, it is a simple "dog dish" car. The clutch pedal is stuck on the floor, tranny seems to be OK. Not a rough project by any means. http://www.mindspring.com/~tkeith/Johns ... 318_OD.jpg |
