Tranny & Adaptor?
-
I am thinking of swapping my tranny in my 38 Dodge RC. Right now I'm leaning towards a T5. What kind of adaptor do I look for; and Where do I get it, and any other equipment to do this? Thanks

Seems no one's got any idea. Sorry but I don't know either...

If you are staying with the stock Dodge engine, you'll likely have to fab something up or have a machine shop fix you up.
Several other posts in this forum list a '46-'48 Dodge/Plymouth website. Your engine is the same as theirs, so you can search the posts here and it's around, you'll have to dig a little. Good luck
PS - Rather than going with a tranny swap, consider going with a Dakota rear axle ('87-'91 five-lug, same as your car has). Lots less expensive, very durable rear end, easy to get parts for, and it'll look 100% bone-stock, plus you'll have a much more highway-friendly gear ratio in the Dak rear."The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things.
