[Land-speed] Transmission Adapter Plate

[Larry Mayfield]

reference dumb question I recently asked about adapter plates, lol.  
This is for my bragging Sunbeam rights motor. As you recall, I need to 
fab up an adapter to mate my competition AOD to my real Sunbeam Tiger 
motor.  The trans is a 6 bolt bell housing variety while the block is a 
5 bolt version.  The 5 bolt pattern lies almost within the 6 bolt 
pattern. But, there are a couple of interference locations.  I layed out 
the bolt paterns on the aluminum plate last night and found that if I 
rotate the 6 bolt pattern by less than 4 degrees everything clears 
adequately.  The down side to that is if I install it that way and keep 
the engine level in the car, then the trans is rotated by less than 4 
degrees off horizontal to the right.  So, the fist question is: will the 
trans operate ok that way? Seems like it would, but, I need to ask. I 
will also ask the trans supplier as well, but, you folk are the smart 
folk with real live experience. remember I am a dummy or dip sh*t as 
some have put it, lol. I can also install the engine in the car and 
split the 4 degrees by rotating the engine mounts to the left by say, 2 
degrees and that puts both the motor and trans off horizontal by only 2 
degrees each.

Comments? Suggestions?
