I've been talking back and forth with David and Bryce Gill from Gill Welding over the past few months. Lemmie tall yall, these guys are a HUGE asset to the Mopar community. I originally got one of their T5 bellhousing adapters. After checking the fit, I noticed that it utilized two bolt holes from one dedicated transmission pattern and two from another. It would have worked fine, but I really wanted one that would work with Vixen's original bellhousing. After talking it over with David, he told me to just send the first plate back. This is the new one they made. It has ALL THREE transmission bolt patterns on it. I have it pictured first, on the same style bellhousing that's in Vixen now, the early A body slant 6 bellhousing. Then it is on a slant 6 over drive bellhousing. Notice on that one, how all three patterns are lined up. Lastly, I have it on my dedicated big block three speed bellhousing. So this means it will fit on three speed and four speed bellhousings. WHY is all this important? I'll tell you why. Because now, you can use your original z-bar, clutch linkage AND clutch fork TOTALLY UNCHANGED and TOTALLY UNMODIFIED. There will be no custom work whatsoever, except to use the Hemi throwout bearing and to have the front bearing retainer turned down so that the throwout bearing fits. Nuthin to it. ....and of course "whatever" floor mods you need to do for your application. I will be starting this conversion soon and posting it here in the forum for you to follow along and see how bad I screw it up.
I cannot say enough good about these fellas and they are Mopar guys to boot! So if yall need any type of custom fabrication done, call them. I'm sure they can make adapters to suit other transmissions as well.
