I'm wanting to build a RWD set up and looking for a adapter plate to bolt a 904 or a 727 to a 2.2/2.5. I have seen some in the past but cant remeber where to get them, can anyone help out. I want to build a bracket racer and would like to use a automatic vs. a manual trans. I dont think I have seen a RWD Spirit before.
I know it's been a few years since seeing this, but I seem to recall somebody claiming that there were AT version 2.2/2.5 Dakotas in Mexico, or Brazil? or was it Chile? Anyways, somewhere that speaks a Latin variant language down south. Maybe you could get one of those.

I've got this strange and foggy recollection where somebody turned up "our" 2.5 in one year of postal jeep, but it was freaking hard to decipher how many were made like that, maybe only a few dozen, maybe a Cali emissions special, maybe didn't even leave AMC or Chryco factories like that but was done by Kaiser or Grumman or something for some special application. Probably not even worth looking for because you'll be trying to find one partable survivor out of 50 or something. It might not have had a mopar tranny even.... dammit gonna have to see if I can find it again...
Hokay, it wasn't the K motor, it was the 1979 Postal jeep with the Audi/VW motor in it, that had a 904 behind it, the bolt pattern was presumed "close" to the K engine, due to the early transverse torqueflites being developed on the VW motor.. so I'm not sure how close it is to the K engine, probably like trying to fit an A404 to a 2.5, I dunno how different that is, could be a couple of bolts off or a dozen.
These guys would know. They are local to me.
