    Hello. I am looking for an adapter plate and crank spacer to mate a slant six to a Chrysler smallblock transmission. These were installed in the 64-67 A100s and A108s. Shipping will be cost prohibitive, so I am trying to find one as close as possible to Tacoma, WA. Any leads are appreciated. Also, the cheaper the better.

    68 had a flywheel index change.. what year is your slant? Might be easier to just find an A being parted and grab the trans...

    My slant is a 76, and the application is a 76 D100, not an A. I am trying to mate an A500 trans to a slant six and the easiest way to accomplish that is using the factory adapter. I am aware of the crank hub register diameter change and am planning on having to run an adapter ring and machine the spacer.

    It is easier than any of the alternatives. There were no automatic overdrives made for the slant, and adapting the A500 with a factory Dodge adapter package is the easiest way to get an auto overdrive trans.

    Ahhh, I gotcha now. I know what you're after now. Good luck

    on a side note, I had my wife set me up a facebook account so I could troll the A100 groups but mostly cause I wanted to look at market place. I see a bunch of info for parts in the groups
