72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5
Worked a bit more on the T5 adapter plate and trans mounting.
I have a prototype being laser cut out of .06" 430 stainless sheet metal. I initially planned to cut the adapter out of 5/16 aluminum plate but I might just stack up a few sheets of the stainless to get to the needed thickness. It't be a bit heavier but cheaper/quicker and probably stronger since its all sandwiched together.
3 12mm bolts will come in from the inside of the Bell and bolt through the transmission and fasten with nuts.
The lower passenger bolt hangs off the Bell and will bolt through the 5/16" Adapter plate.
2 other 8mm bolts through the Bell near the lower right 12mm to add support.
NOTE: The T5 trans mount has a ~5 degree slant to the left. This should put the shifter in a more comfortable position.
