AX15 TO FORD V8 ADAPTER
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
This kit can be installed with the transmission and transfer case remaining in the vehicle. However, it will prove
to be an easier installation if the transmission and transfer case are removed and the new engine and AX15
assembly are installed as one unit.
Remove the stock engine and bellhousing assembly. Remove the bellhousing off the
transmission. The front bearing retainer should also be unbolted and removed. Clean
both surface areas of silicon or gasket debris. The new adapter plate indexes on the
transmission using the transmission front bearing. The two transmission dowel pins
are not used. We have oversized two holes in the adapter to clear these dowel pins.
Set the adapter plate on the transmission so that it
indexes on the bearing. The top two holes on the adapter
(for bolting to the bellhousing) require grinding on the
transmission case to allow clearance for the bolts to be
installed.
Mark the transmission where the clearance must be ground.
Remove the adapter plate and cover the two exposed bearings
with a rag.
Using a disc grinder (wearing the necessary safety
glasses), grind the necessary clearance for the bolt
heads. Test fit if necessary.
Install the new seal ( P/N 716742 ) into the
711543 adapter plate.
