reference dumb question I recently asked about adapter plates, lol.
This is for my bragging Sunbeam rights motor. As you recall, I need to
fab up an adapter to mate my competition AOD to my real Sunbeam Tiger
motor. The trans is a 6 bolt bell housing variety while the block is a
5 bolt version. The 5 bolt pattern lies almost within the 6 bolt
pattern. But, there are a couple of interference locations. I layed out
the bolt paterns on the aluminum plate last night and found that if I
rotate the 6 bolt pattern by less than 4 degrees everything clears
adequately. The down side to that is if I install it that way and keep
the engine level in the car, then the trans is rotated by less than 4
degrees off horizontal to the right. So, the fist question is: will the
trans operate ok that way? Seems like it would, but, I need to ask. I
will also ask the trans supplier as well, but, you folk are the smart
folk with real live experience. remember I am a dummy or dip sh*t as
some have put it, lol. I can also install the engine in the car and
split the 4 degrees by rotating the engine mounts to the left by say, 2
degrees and that puts both the motor and trans off horizontal by only 2
degrees each.
Comments? Suggestions?
