FORD ADAPTER PLATES:

P/N 712551

- Dodge Standard Duty NV4500 to Ford 4.848” Dia. bellhousing

This adapter plate is designed to fit a Dodge NV4500 directly to a standard Ford bellhousing.

We recommend the use of a

1985 to 1988 F150 bellhousing to work with this adapter plate. The adapter plate provides a mounting surface

identical to a Ford transmission. This kit is designed around the Dodge Standard Duty 4WD version and will compensate for the
1” longer Dodge input shaft. The adapter plate is not compatible with the Heavy-Duty Dodge NV4500 or early model 1993-1995
GM NV4500s. The kit is furnished with a new pilot bushing and necessary hardware. The clutch disc will need to be changed in
order to be compatible with the new transmission.

Most Ford bellhousings use a 4.848” index. The clutch components listed below fit the 1985-1988 F150 bellhousing. The clutch
diameter for this bellhousing is 11”. We recommend the use of Centerforce clutch components. The recommended clutch
components are as follows:

P/N CF260000

- 11” pressure plate (3 sets of 2 bolts)

P/N CF360049

- 11” pressure plate (6 bolts evenly spaced)

P/N 383735

11” clutch disc

P/N 716311

Release bearing (N1439)

P/N 712552

- 1995 GM NV4500 to Ford 4.848” index Bellhousing Adapter:

The availability of the NV4500 becomes very difficult when trying to locate a specific transmission design. This adapter kit
provides the longer Dodge input shaft for use with a Chevy NV4500 transmission. The adapter is only compatible with the 5.61
gear ratio and the early GM bolt pattern. This adapter plate only works on the 1995 GM NV4500 transmission. The adapter plate
requires the removal of the Chevy input gear for replacement with the new Dodge input gear supplied in the kit.
