Ford Barra to Ecoboost V6 transmission

Struggling to find an affordable V8 6R80, or are they too expensive for your build? Here's a cost-effective solution—use the Ecoboost V6 Ford transmission instead!

The V6 transmissions are more common and offer excellent aftermarket support. While the V6 and V8 cases share many similarities, there are two key differences. First, the bellhousing shape is different. More importantly, the rear output bearing differs: the V6 features a heavy-duty ball bearing, while the V8 uses a roller bearing. The ball bearing in the V6 provides better support, as the Ecoboost V6 produces more torque at lower RPMs compared to the Modular V8. Aside from this, the 6R80 and 10R80 transmissions are essentially the same between V6 and V8 versions.

Note: The 6R80 and 10R80 Have slight differences please be sure to select the appropriate option for your application!

Additionally, this is the latest version of our adapter plate is just 1" thick! This provides improved clearance, reduces the chances of firewall interference, and eliminates the need for modifications to your bellhousing or engine. The adapter also includes 11 possible starter clocking positions to help avoid any obstructions in your engine bay.
