If you wish to use a Ford T 170 3 + 1 overdrive transmission behind your Flathead V8 or Model A engine and keep your torque tube / closed drive shaft, then we have this adapter plate which bolts on the rear of the transmission. The torque tube and drive shaft will need shortening a small amount depending on application.
The V8 Torque Tube and Drive Shaft need to be shortened by 4 inches in a 35-40 chassis. PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST CHECK EACH APPLICATION. The gearbox main shaft must be cut off 2 inches past the outer edge of the rear main bearing and have a 6 spline re cut in the shaft to suit the u-joint and the end of the shaft tapped 3/8" UNF for the u-joint retainer bolt. These adaptor plates are made in New Zealand and are now in stock and For Sale in the USA. Please view ADVERTISEMENT in the Early V8 For Sale [ 1932 - 53] section.
