NOTES;
1. The adapter plate adds 3/4” to the engine/transmission assembly. The plate may have to be trimmed to allow for clearance of steering gear, exhaust, oil filter, etc.
2. The 287-350 is drilled with the Chevrolet and the 64 and later Buick Olds and Pontiac housing bolt patterns. It uses all of the bolt holes on the engine and transmission. 2 holes on the BOP transmission bell housing bolt holes will have to be drilled from 3/8 to 7/16”.
3. Provision is made for mounting the starter on either side of the block. We can supply the starter. Part number and application is supplied in the kit.
4. Complete instructions are included.
5. The adapter plate is drilled with 5 holes on each side to assist in mid-mounting the engine. The kit is supplied with a drawing showing the hole locations for fabricating the mid-mount.
We do not supply information regarding engine or transmission installation in to specific frames, bodies, etc. This is the responsibility of the customer and care should be taken to address the issues of motor and transmission mounts, driveline, body and frame clearance, gear ratios, etc. BEFORE the purchase of the engine to transmission adapter. We can assist you with information and dimensions of the adapter prior to the start of your project so feel free to contact us with any questions.
