Upgrade Your Classic Ford with Confidence
Ford Small Block to Modular V8 Transmission Adapter Kit
Take your vintage Ford 260, 289, 300, 302, 351W, or 351C to the next level by pairing it with a modern Ford Modular transmission — including the 6R80 or 10R80 — using the thinnest, most compact adapter on the market.
Why Choose Our Kit?
- Ultra-Slim Design: Just 0.50" thick, our adapter is precision-machined from 6061 billet aluminum — no cutting, grinding, or modification required to your bellhousing.
- High Torque Ready: Comes with a high-torque mini starter built to handle up to 14:1 compression engines.
-
Clean, OEM Fitment: We eliminate the need for a bulky torque converter spacer by using a custom crank spacer — letting you keep your OEM flexplate in place.
Compatible Transmissions: 6R80 / 10R80 / 4R70 / 4R110 / 5R110
Built for Performance
- All hardware included is Grade 8 or higher — no compromises.
- Engineered for strength, precision, and ease of installation.
Optional Standalone Control
Bundle our kit with a US Shift Quick 4, Quick 6, or Quick 10 transmission controller, and receive up to $125 off the adapter kit price. A powerful, seamless upgrade — with everything you need in one package.

The job is straight forward, make sure your clearances are correct. The kit is well machined and works as advertised. It changed my 74 Bronco drastically. Thank you for the great product and support!
