Remind me not to go to any concerts at Red Rocks in Colorado during thunder storm season. Golf ball sized hail during a show last night. Many injured.

I wonder how often they get hail.

Hmm well it’s looking more and more like this old Hemi is gonna end up a coffee table or something. Seems no one is making the transmission adapters any longer.

Ya mean this Wilcap"?

I'm very happy with my Blue Print engine. Bought it turn key and just over 10,000 miles on it and the only problem Iv'e had is I broke the oil dip stick tube off.
471 HP and 500 ft lbs torque. Got the dyno read out for it from Blue Print. And yea it pushes the Scamp down the road real good.

I can certainly attest to that, Fred is being gracious, the thing runs like a raped ape and I can assure you Fred drives the snot out of it!

Or with your local machine shops being affordable, Maybe have them cut the extended bell off and drill/tap the holes to bolt one up? Pretty common years ago

Hmmm is that possible even?

Called them yesterday, they’re out of everything for 51-53 331s

yes. check out the HAMB. they have many articles on adapting trans. Cadillac/LaSalle and Packard trans were popular in the day. Also, machining off the bell and incorporating the standard bolt on bell on the block.

*** Personally, if not in a hurry, just keep an eye out for an adapter. they show up

 

[71GSSDemon]

Rumors on HAMB say "Howards" in Tulsa, OK has a bunch of early Hemi stuff hidden in a boat shop. Maybe this place?

Wow lots of backreading. On the 408 discussion, I bought a Blue print short block. And built it up myself. No way I spent less then what they get for a dyno'd complete engine. That is a good deal, but not free....O and mine runs like a train. Tons of low end torque....with this cam

Sadly they don't sell them anymore

 

[RustyRatRod]

Screw all that backreadin. Just jump in and hold on.

 

[Mopar Tim]

Because they were not making any money on them. It was a good deal. Magnum based....

They do make great stuff and their customer service appears to be rated highly.

But no big block stuff.
