Question for you all. Has any body put an ax15 behind a six cylinder? Looking for thoughts on this thinking of a daily driver. I know need to finish the daughters 74 first. Found a 66 half cab like I said just thinking

I don’t think I’ve seen that done, as long as there is a bell housing to get from the small 6 (144-200) to the AX15 you can make it happen.

I bet it’s been a discussion item on fordsix.com

A little research and a few missing links.

Novak makes an adapter to get from the Ford “butterfly” bell housing to the AX15. And the factory small 6 bell housing is a butterfly housing.

Of course then you have to get to the D20.

It’s only money.

I 've seen the kits from wild horses just wanting to make sure the bell housing on the six will work. What is the difference between the 6 and 8 trans? A buddy of mine just rolled his 97 wrangler and is giving me the trans.
And what is money haven't seen that stuff in a while .

It looks to me like Novak describes the butterfly pattern as the standard small block pattern. In which case a falcon six will not work unless it was 1980s vintage. The 250 and 240/300 used the small block pattern.

Thanks talked to Matt at wild horses need to find a 11 inch fly wheel and bell housing. So maybe an 80's truck bell housing will work?
