Larryhagmansliver Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Finished with all the bolts and Linkage. Does anyone know what the "brass" plate is that is bolted between the Motor and the bellhousing in the pic below? Looks like a bellhousing adapter. Typically, these are used to match an engines bolt pattern to a tranny that wasn't originally designed to mate to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the "brass" plate is that is bolted between the Motor and the bellhousing in the pic below? It is just a spacer plate.
