I sell the adapter kits to mate early hemis to either a smallblock 727 or A833 4 speed. Kit consists of 6061 aluminum block plate, crank hub adapter, B&M flexplate, and bolts.
This is the only adapter on the market that lets you use the stock trans inspection covers with a no hassle installation.

trans adapters

Post by outlaw30a »

i don't want to beat a dead horse,but , are there any transmissions that will bolt directly to a 58 354? I removed mine from a 58 dodge truck. Granny four speed. I have a 56 powerflite, and 330 desoto. I guess my question is, what other transmission will bolt direct?

trannies

Any of the 57-58 cast iron TorqueFlite trannies will bolt up from Chrysler, dodge, and Desoto whether they are hemi blocks or poly blocks. The Powerflite from the Desoto will bolt up also. A friend of mine altered an original aluminum spacer from a 56 Powerflite to adapt a later model 904 trannie to a 354. He told me that some of the bolt holes lined up and that he drilled out others that did not line up. He also used a 426 hemi flexplate to get the 8 bolt pattern to fit the early crank. There was more to the job but thI can't remember any more. Hopefully this info may help. Good luck.
