I am replacing the engine in my 2005 SRT10 QC and purchased an engine local from a RC truck. I am finding out they will not mate up Dowel pin locations and bolt holes different. HELP!!! Im sure someone has seen this before but I can not find a thing on the site about it. Who makes an adaptor plate that will work. This has me at a stand still.

That would work for me if you know its been done before with no problem's..... I know someone has hit this wall before.

Who in the Hell decided to build two different block's--book only list one that I find.

Yeah man that's what all the QC guys do when they swap to a 6speed.

Similar, yet a touch different bro. Him having a RC engine and putting his auto back in is opposite. Yet I see no reason, like you said, that it won't work. The key is in the aligning of the transmission using only one dowel and replacing other with a bolt. (I have 65,000 miles and hundreds of passes on mine, the first conversion in the world and never drilled for that bolt! The rest of the bolts and ensuring alignment has proven rigid and successful but I'll likely do it anyhow during my next clutch replacement.)
:burnout:
 
Block is the same, the difference is the bellhousing...someone correct me if I'm wrong?
 
not the first time, certainly not the last. :( I'll just go back to doing paperwork and getting yelled at by my commander.

Is it the bolt holes or that it won't butt together?
I understand a dowel has to be removed but wouldn't the RC engine also have a pilot bushing, where the QC wouldnt.. the Torque converter won't slide in because of the bushing.. it has to come out first..

Just an idea.??

My Engine already had a pilot bearing in the crank.

That has nothing to do with how the flexplate or torque converter bolts up to the engine.

Gotcha... That's why I phrased it as a question... I have not had a QC apart.. I was basing it off my experience with auto and manual jeeps tranny swaps.. Obviously not the same.. but now I know.

Thanks for confirming that..
