Ford Pinto

Ford Pinto/RX8 adapter 
This adapter plate was designed to bolt a Ford Pinto engine to an rx8 gearbox using as many of the engines standard parts as possible. It utilizes the engines original engines sump/flywheel and clutch aslong as it is a 23 spline ford unit used with the ford type 9 5 speed gearbox . You will need to use a LRS707 starter motor. 
In most cases it is possible to use the rx8 clutch arm slave cylinder and release bearing with very little work, but In some cases the clutch arm pivot point height might need adjusting to suit.  We recomend mocking this up out of the car.  Spigot bearing RX8017 is to be used with this adapter. Fitting kit RX8018 can be used to bolt the engine adapter and gearbox bellhousing together.
