Adapter plate fab' - K20A-to-MT75. Who?
That is: who knows of a fabricator/engineering firm that can make or has made an adapter plate between a Honda/Acura Type S K20A2 engine and a Sierra
MT75 gearbox?
Mine went up (down?) in flames, water and asbestos:

I thought you had to use a Honda box with the Honda engines as they run backwards compared to ford engines?

Old ones (B-series and earlier) did run backwards, but K-series and other newer one run the conventional direction. This conversion (Ford box on a
k20a engine) has already been done, but I need a new source for the adaptor plate.

Learn something new every day!
Quick search on here brought up this thread which has a link at the bottom to a company that can make one.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm in contact with McGregor, but they only have for the T9 'box, whereas, I'm setup for an MT75 box. Don't
want the added weight (and complexity, in my case) of a T9, but might have to compromise.
I had a guy, here in Holland that did it before (as mentioned in that old thread), but that bridge and literally his building were burned...

If they are setup for T9, surely it wouldnt be a huge step to do an MT75? Would have thought that would be a better box for it too?
