Maybe try Bell housing bolt patterns? Just a thought or I could measure one of mine.

No luck on line so far  Thanks for the offer Richard... What i really need is an engineering drawing, as I am making up a adapter plate from scratch

If it is for Y Block, John Mummert, Scott Drake, have them for sale, and Speedway may have them.  I have a Mummert, but I am in the process of installing it in my '55.  It is a tight fit to the bellhousing and locates off the front pilot shaft housing.  Joe-JDC

Joe, mine is for a MEL automatic bell housing that I am trying to adapt so I can put it on the dyno.. It's the later oddball MEL pattern.. No stick bellhousing available.

All I have around here is the narrow Ford pattern, and the dyno won't easily accept that one..  As usual I am pushing a rope uphill

     Yes, the Tremec 3550 & TKO series (Ford applications) have the same case bolt pattern as the Top loader, this as I believe the originally intended application bellhousing use was the S.R.O.D. unit, but do check which register diameter is applicable.   :)

I think I would break out in hives if I used the Munchie pattern... Although I considered it...
