If this adapter bolts to the 4BT and 6BT and these bellhousings are the same bolt pattern as the IH V-8s, then this should allow the use of the ZF series 5-speeds behind the IH V-8s also. If it locates the starter on the pass. side, the IH engines should bolt right on, using their stock starters and flywheel/clutch assembly. All that would be left to figure out would be the T/O bearing clearance/travel and the pilot bearing and clutch disc spline count. THis is VERY exciting to me.
