Rat Rod custom builds can be such an onerous task especially when doing something different and not opting to drop a 351 Ford or 350 Chev engine in your project car. The Guilds head Metal Worker, Albert Zuger shows us how to make a flywheel and torque converter adapter, without any CNC equipment to fit a 350 T GM automatic transmission to a 1950’s Packard flathead straight eight-cylinder engine.

The adapter I'm hoping to make is for adapting a ZF S6-650 transmission to a small block ford. I'm hoping to use a Duramax transmission as it should be relatively easy to adapt. The frustrating part is that almost every manual transmission adapter I can find is always a bellhousing. I need an adapter that goes between the engine and bellhousing of the transmission as the S6-650 has an integral bellhousing. Will this interfere with the clutch at all as it would be moving the input shaft backwards. Again I can't find any info on how much it would affect it. Any replies would be appreciated

Hi, I’m trying to find out if an Audi v8 / v10 can join up to a 2010 Land Rover discovery 4 3.0 6spd auto box, think disco is using the ZF6HP26 I’ve got chance to buy either an Audi v8 from an a8 or a v10, both engines need rebuilding but I need to find out if possible to get them to fit, could you guys do an adapter plate if it’s required/possible? Thanks great video

I’ve had a very similar idea to this, with the exception that I want to put another flywheel spaced out 3.25” because of the mounting housing on the back of my Cummins V-378. I want to adapt my rebuilt ZF 5 spd but would like to utilize the engine’s starter and flywheel, avoid the rear protruding cam driven compressor and fuel pump assembly , and make use of the mounting flanges that are cast into the 4” deep transmission spacer. Do you think that a spaced-off flywheel would be as successful as the torque converter spacer that has been built on this video?

I’m in the same situation right now, I want to mate an mt-82 6 speed from a mustang gt to my gen 3 hemi, and there are no options for adapters or anything of the sort, so I thought about just spacing the flywheel apart from the crank. I’m just doing lots of research and wondering if this is safe or if it’s even realistic. Did you ever get anywhere with yours?

@@jacksonn.2399 I decided against it because the idea of all that unbalanced rotating mass made me too nervous. I Ended up ordering a custom pilot bushing and had the old flywheel drilled to accept the OE clutch for my ZF 5. It worked great. BUT: it took so long for all the fabrication work that by the time the freshly rebuilt transmission got tested on the road it had been stored dry for 6 months. 4th gear synchro is stuck and I’ve been too busy to pull the transmission (now out of warranty)

This is the flywheel to torque converter adapter, now they have to make the adapter for the engine block, Packard flathead straight 8, to the Chevy transmission bolt pattern.

That looked like it turned out good. To be honest I am surprised that aluminum was used. But I guess how much power can a Packard really make.
