Can anyone ID this adapter? No markings on it.

Thanks!

Small block Chevy front engine mount. The 4 holes near the center bolt to the front of the engine block. The big holes on the ends sit on the stock Cruiser engine rubbers IIRC.

Thanks Nick!
 
Seriously old school. Nice wall art.
 
That was made by Downey Off Road Mfg for bolt-in Chevota conversions before Saginaw power steering conversions made us switch over to side weld-in front motor mounts. Problem was that motor mount bolted onto the Chevy V8 engine exactly where the power steering pump needed to bolt on.
 
I remember machining those Chevy bell housings 100 per batch. When they started trickling in 2-3 at a time when we ordered 100 it became time for us to make our own aluminum 4 speed adapter bellhousings, then that let us use all factory parts (shift fork, shift fork pivot ball, stock t.o. Bearing, stock front bearing retainer, and much nicer slave cylinder mounting- - -plus very thick wall 360 degree full circle made the aluminum bell housing bullet proof.
