I'm not sure they ever came with one. but would this five speed and bellhousing for 318. theoretically mate to the SS/SB bell adapters you see every now and then. The old ones used for the 727 back in the day ( or was it the 904?) |

There's no reason it couldnt be made to fit with some work on the hump. The real question is would you really want to? I had an '87 Dakota with a five speed and it was definitely a truck tranny with a heavy feel and you did not want to be in a hurry to make a shift. Unless the later ones are different I would not find it suitable for use in a car. |

Here's a couple of threads on one experience with this trans and how he swapped it in. Just an FYI. http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10197 http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12614 |

thanks for the info. not terribly interested in that trans, but more interested in what I might do with the trans adapter I found at a swap meet a couple weekends ago. had to buy it a $50. came with the plate the motor brace, all bolts and the hub between the crank and flywheel. |

The answer then is yes, you can bolt up a Dakota bell and trans to that adapter. The way to go would be the Dakota 3.9 V6/5.2 V8 bell for an AX15 bolted to a Supra R154.Read farther down this thread for some input. Maybe that will be more helpful. |
