I have an early 5 bolt motor that has been built. I acquired it from a friend and everything in it is top quality. forged pistons, crank, etc. The problem starts because i would like to attach a t56 to this motor. I found a possible solution but am unable to find an reviews on it. The item in question is an adapter plate which bolts to the motor making a 5 bolt engine a 6 bolt. It is found here. Ford 5 bolt 289 engine to small I've considered getting this and maybe welding it to the block. But my bigger concern is it requires using a spacer on the crank to push the flywheel out to the proper depth. Are my concerns justified or is this a viable solution for my problem? many thanks in advance, Chris.
