I have an original Downey 4 speed adapter coming to me, I restore, I re-sale, lemme know.

How much for a restored Downey 4-spd adapter sir?

 

[Downey]

^^^^^ my original deal fell through, but there are two different Downey 4 speed adapters becoming (or about to become) available here on Mud, keep your eyes peeled. In fact look for the classified ad from "Lifelong40Fan"

what would be the cost before I ask that?

I’ll have one availible in a few months , it was A h42 mated to a sbc 350 and swapped to a ls 6.0 all holes lineup except 1 no biggie . I’m going to a sm465 so need for it if interested .. $200 it’s Downey bellhousing

Thanks for the info, but Jim Sickles hooked me up with one while I was gone.

I just used a Downey bellhousing to connect a SBC 350 to a 4 speed in my 73 FJ40. I have an LS I’d like to eventually swap in too. Does the Downey bellhousing I used work with an LS too?

Yes, but you will need some other mods. You can use the Chevota clutch you have now, or a new one, but you will have to remove the dowl pins from the LS flywheel, and drill out the mounting holes of your pressure plate to .386" so that your pressure plate pilots/aligns onto the 10mm LS bolts. You will need Advance Adapters 1.707"pilot bearing spacer/adapter #716155 for the LS crank shaft. That should do it unless I've been too far removed to remember other stuff.

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ve got the 4 speed in and it’s working great so far. Down the road I want to put an LS I picked up in it. Hopefully soon.
