Gen II adapter should include the BOP bolt pattern. (Buick, Olds, Pontiac).

Love to buy one or two of these, but I've got a BOP transmissions.

I have mine all bolted up...but am still working on wiring/welding/piddly crap to finish up my d50 swap. Fits like a friggin glove.

My internet is insanely slow today (love dial-up!!) so, I didn't visit the earlier posts and I don't recall the earlier discussion.

So, what pattern is this? EVO4-later? Did the EVO line change? Like 4-8 is one pattern, and EVO9 is another?

Story, I've bought 4-5 Mitsubishi diesels. They are all differing vintage. The last 2 I bought have a different pattern than a 1g 2g dsm, so I suspect it's a EVO pattern. Here is a pic or two:

http://www.midsm.com/forums/picture.php ... tureid=973

http://www.midsm.com/forums/picture.php ... tureid=972

Hopefully, this plate gets revisited. I'd like to see it get the bolt pattern for the Buick, Olds, Pontiac (BOP) transmissions which would entail 4 extra holes. The dowel locations are the same. And the potential to include the EVO pattern in addition to the DSM pattern? Thoughts?

Ultimately I'd like to put the EVO? patterned diesels in 1-2g dsms and save one for a RWD config in a starion with a BOP trans behind it. (BOP becuase I have a crap ton of 350 and 400's laying around. )

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 7:00 pm

that should be a second gen narrow block pattern you have there

Morpheus · Post by **Morpheus** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 4:50 pm

No, Bill. It's not a 2nd gen DSM pattern. Remember you can bolt together a 2nd gen and 1st gen 4g63. The locating dowels are lower bolt locations. The second pic shows a 1st gen backing plate on it for reference. The holes on the left side, the second hole up is doweled. The pattern is different than 1st/2nd gen 4g63 (or EVO1-3). So again, my question is what vin EVO is this?

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 12:18 am

it doesnt look like a EVO 4-9 either, the lower doweled bolt hole in the lower skirt is about a 1/2 wider then the 1st and 2nd gen , so I think it may be a cross breed of the two
I am sure my plate can be drilled to it, but I would need a engine plate to make sure

shroder15 · Post by **shroder15** » Sat Jun 26, 2010 9:38 pm

Bill,
I'm trying to pop the retaining clip off of the top of the starter to change the gear, but cannot for the life of me get it to come off. I asked a friend if we should disassmble the starter and he said no veeery firmly. Just curious how you swapped out the gear? Thanks!

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Sat Jun 26, 2010 9:50 pm

I cant really describe it any better then on this thread, feel free to send it to me and I will install it and send it back, no charge

Bill, I actually just saw how you removed it a few posts above. I dont know how I missed it. I'll try and just take it apart and go from there. Thanks again!

Bill, How far out do those 'ears' stick out from the GM trans?
And how far would it be from edge to edge? (for the width of my AMC's tunnel)

Would you think that with hard motor mounts/ mid plate ears/ hard trans crossmember be "TOO" harsh on the floor of a unibody?
There is tons of room around the axle, so I thought of adapting in a quest rear suspension..?

Wow i miss my 4g63 awd Talon, But a 4g63 fox body mustang/TH350 set up sounds like a winner. This is definatly my next build. This adapter is really changing the DSM world i know people are tired of breaking trannies.
Are these still in production Bill?

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:09 pm

yeah, i build them all the time

HPA · Post by **HPA** » Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:38 am

Hey Bill, I bought a kit from you a while ago, and you had mentioned to me over the phone that you had found some ARP bolts to replace the factory crank bolts used to hold the crank adaptor, any news on this? and do you have a part number?

Big thanks
Dan

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:57 am

I went out and searched the catalogs and bought some bolts that I thought may help but none of them really improved on the OEM manual flywheel bolts

the coupler is designed to use the OEM bolts because they are 10mm deep, when the bolts are tightened by hand they sink into the crank to 9mm so its very close

This is the closest I came to improving the bolt, its from a Toyota and its 1mm longer, so great care would be needed to make sure you torque the couple to the crank and not just be twisting the bolt in the crank

it is imperitive to use the dowel pin in the crank and NOT use washers under the crank bolt, when you leave the pin out and use a washer, you allow the coupler a way to work loose
the chamfer on the bolt hole edges conforms with the shoulder of the flywheel bolt so it forms a lock between the coupler and the bolt.

Thanks Bill, stock bolts it is! Ill even use new ones LOL

Would a 700R4 trans fit that body?

Cause that tranny is far superior.

Locking converter w/ OD, too.

We stick those trannys into Jags, Supras, etc etc.

Bill Hincher · Post by **Bill Hincher** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 12:20 pm

yeah, I built a couple for some serious guys, but most guys dont want the electronic's

Professor Quest · Post by **Professor Quest** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 5:16 pm

WHAT...you might want to know:

There are no "electronics", at all, cept:

82-93s, 700R4 used a conversion part that John's Cars (Dallas Tx)
(214) 426-4101 sells for $115.

We change-out a electrical part, that allows the convertor to lock via RPM.

A 3 year old can change-out that part.

Just, flip it over, remove the pan, change-out the part.

TH350 & 400 are generally replaced with 700R4s.

However, 94 & later, 700R4s requires a computer to make the conversion.

Must be... several vendors that supply that conversion part for the
EARLY, 700R4s..

John, told me today, with Bill's, TH350 adapter plate, a early,
700R4 would be a bolt-in, but the crossmember mount might
be located different.

Just, food for thought.

Myself... I was pulling 700R4s from IROC Cameros that were
trashed/wrecked. MANY, RWD GM products have them, too.

Nope, you do not NEED, the dust cover, on the bottom.
(cut-off the ears on TH350)

700R4s are...DA BOMB!

91 Supra converted to GM 350cid & 200R4, and it fits!

Btw, Starquest that had a A/T had a WIDER, floorboard tunnel.

1289hp?

Which rear-end has it got? 9"?

screemin eagle · Post by **screemin eagle** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 10:10 pm

The 700 doesn't like high HP and is more costly to build and buy converters for. It's good for a put put car that cruise a lot. I looked into it when I first started my swap.

Professor Quest · Post by **Professor Quest** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:34 pm

This $32 part converts 84-91 700R4s without the
need of a computer.

Your Torque Convertor can lock-up, even while in "D" range, too!

I've never had a problem using 700R4s, myself.

And I never...buy-into a MYTH! (be carefull whom you ask
questions, to )

Tranny "CORES" sell for about $100.

Does a LS-6 SS Chevelle get called a "put-put"? Were IROCs?

Do you get... Speed Channel on TV? They did several articles
installing a 700R4, replacing TH350s &TH400s.

However...I burned-out doing DRAG RACING w/ A/T, cause it is boring,
to me, bout 1981. Never had a A/T in ANY of my performance cars, myself.

My son, just bought a 67 SS Nova that turns 8 seconds, with a Power-Glide
tranny. I told him, that would bore da shit outta most drivers.

He wants a Tremec, now.

I do love my "standard" trannys.

You are looking at a MAGNISIUM housing!

What do I know about A/T?

Professor Quest · Post by **Professor Quest** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 2:13 am

This creep removed other parts that were supposed to be delivered to a female owner in the same islands...which is a FELON, stealing US Mail!

He charged her $2k for a rusted, beater, Starquest that needed THOU$AND$
of improvements, too! (car was dangerous to drive!)

No brakes, worn steering, cracked head, no transmount, etc. etc.

He also failed to send ALL the funds required, several times, within 30 days
when the project was completed.

He was warned...don't ever do that again, to us! Yet he did!

I am not your bank, I don't do loans without interest, if I did!

My machine shops warned me of STRECTHING, any deposit, too damn far,
especially to this CROOK!

They are serious...so am *I*!

YOU...abandoned your head, PERIOD!

You screwed-over that nice lady... and you THOUGHT you'd do
the same to me!

Its might not change a thing, but members should know the liar and thief that is WAYNE WIKE. There is a valid reason why WAYNE WIKE AKA Professor Quest has been banned from most Starquest related sites including: Starquestclub, KDMPerformance, 26literus, Starquest IX, etc. He is a criminal, and a predator, he rippes off Starion and Conquest enthusiasts for his own personal gain. He parts out these cars mercilessly and can't even do that honestly. Please do not erase this thread, let members be aware of this crook, before sending him money. He has never completed our transaction, he kept ALL my parts and money, and walked away...refused to offer any solution or give any sort of refund!!! My record speaks for its self.....I have been a Starquest owner since 2001, I am a upstanding member of all the sites mentioned above, I have bought and sold countless items valued in thousands of dollars over the years using these sites... never had any issues with members besides this Thief. What he wrote about me is PURE LIE, the lady he mentioned is my friend to this day, and she will chime in, in my behalf if he continues this slander. Its only diversionary tactics friends, this man is a liar and a thief!!! This is my last post in this thread.
