Mc Leod Adapter Plate - Manual

8607 Adapter Plate
This aluminum adapter plate fits between the transmission and the bell housing. The adaptor is designed
to space the Tremec transmission back, so the input shaft will engage the clutch disc splines and properly
engage the pilot bushing. The adapter is designed for McLeod bell housing numbers 8624, 8630 and
8640. This adapter may or may not work with a stock bell housing or specialty aftermarket bell housings.
Installation:
The adaptor is drilled for four (4) socket head bolts and four (4) threaded holes. The socket head bolt
pattern is for the narrow Ford transmission pattern. The threaded holes are for the wide transmission
pattern. If you have only the wide pattern in your bell housing then you can drill out the threads in the
adapter plate and use longer transmission bolts to install the transmission. If you drill out the threads,
you cannot return the adapter plate to McLeod. Please be sure to fit the adapter to the bell housing and
check to see if all bolts line up before any modification is made. The male side of the adapter plate is made
to slip fit into the bell housing center bore with minimum amount of clearance. If the adaptor is too loose,
then check your center bore. The center bore should be 4.850” for Ford bell housings.
