    Hi from Southern California

    Hi all,

    New member here in Southern California with kit number 188. Manta Mirage with small block Ford engine.

    I have had the somewhat finished car in my garage for over 40 years. My working life was too busy and now I am retired and working again on the car. As you can imagine after 40 years (even in an inclosed garage) all rubber parts were cracked and need replacement.

    I am interested in trying to find a Kelmark Chevy to Corvair transmission adapter and maybe replace my Ford small block with a Chevrolet.

    After replacing the cracked motor mounts, a new engine damper, rebuilding the Holley carb, oil change, priming the oil pump to get oil pressure, etc., etc. The engine fired up, idles and does not smoke. A small victory for all of that.

    Please let me know if anyone has a Kelmark adapter.

    Best regards,

    Mantawoody

    Hello mantawoody, I've got one of those aluminum 350 to corvair adapters, I'm not using it. You can have it, would just want to be sure shipping is covered.

    Hi Dave Bivens,

    Wow that would be terrific to get the adapter. I am happy to cover the packaging, shipping etc. It is most generous of you to offer the adapter. I would be happy to pay for it though.

    Please let me know how we can proceed. I am happy to send you whatever funds are needed. Do you have any of the payment apps such as Venmo, Square Cash, etc.?

    My email address is odell.woodling@gmail.com and my cell number is 714-330-4905.

    I am really enjoying working on my car, I trust you are having the same fun!

    Best regards,

    Mantawoody (Odell Woodling)
