It will work for an A500.
I have one but am going to use it in my 87 D100. If I am not mistaken the adapter plates were used to bolt up a 727 or later 518s. I don't think the 500 will work with the plate. If it will, someone is sure to jump in.
just out of curiosity - what did these come in? I've never heard of such a thing...
That's cool. Never heard or seen that before.
X2!!! thing looks HEAVY!

the A-100 vans and some early 60/mid 60s trucks with 727 transmission and /6 engine, they didn't have a slant 727 at that point so they used a small block one adapted with this adapter
there extremely rare and I've yet to see one in person
I think it would be less expensive to drop in a v/8 at this time. Same fuel mileage and a bolt in.

Sure would be nice if somone who owned one of these would come back and pull measurements off these.

bringing up an old thread as I've found a bit more information on the slant to 727 adapters. Per the moderator over at the A100 forum, these adapters were used from 64 through 67 when they were used to mate the slant to a modified (for the van) LA 727. Trucks used a regular long tailshaft 727 with the adapter. In 68 Mopar started making slant-specific 727s for the vans with the modified tailshafts and trucks got the slant-specific 727. Guess that's why not many people have ever seen or heard of these adapters.
Somebody at .org has a cad drawing of it and as I understand it there was little or no demand for one. I sent someone here on FABO a tracing of the plates showing hole locations. Don't know if anything will come from it or not.
I think I was the one the tracing was sent to. THANKS.
I'm working on a cad setup but the center lines of the crank are just a bit off. I think that was the problem with the first guys cad setup. when I do it in machinable wax it looks good but as soon as I try to mate the 3 (engine to adapter to trans) I get a couple of thou differences in alignment. I don't know if it's enough to cause problems but I'm not willing to take that chance with it due to the super high cost of thick billet aluminum. I shelved the project for now but will get back to it after I get the vacuform and cnc setups finished for making parts that I NEED now to get my dart up and running..

pm sent your wayIf not mistaken, the desired adapter plate is shown in this craigslist ad:

Strange that the cars being parted are a 65 440 and 70 Challenger.
If valuable enough, I might drive up the hill if he would sell cheap, otherwise any SF guy who needs it and is driving to Lake Tahoe anyway could grab it.
