i know marks adaptors in australia can bolt up a fair amount of engines including 5litre fords and 351 cleavlands.

With the amount of aftermarket available for the 5.0, that's not a bad choice. You can bolt on some major power for those things.

Even though I'm a chevy man.

Fords!!

I think Marks and AA both can help you out.

Thank you! Advanced Adapters have a conversion kit! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Toyord?

I prefer Forota! :slap:

well at least fiord put the distributor in a much nicer location

i believe the marks kits for fords dont require you to change d-shaf lenghts like the AA ones.

at least thats why i bought a marks adapter for my chevy!

marks adaptors usually are high quality and also usually result in the shifters lining up with the shifter holes and no driveshaft length changes. good product if i could ever afford one

I like the AA bellhousing cause with a V8 you can add an AA Rockbox and it all fits sweet. Great option for low gears.

AA also requires finding a flywheel for the V8, preferably a truck one, but the marks kit comes with flywheel doesn't it?
