An adapter plate is used so different transmissions will bolt up to a specific engine and vise versa.

I'm not aware of Ford using an adapter on any transmission. They did used to like those thin metal backing plates betwen the motor and tranny on the old gassers, but I don't think any of the diesels have them. I know mine doesn't.

Not really sure what they were for to begin with.

Adapter plate on the 6.9 and 7.3 are about 1 1/4" thick and that is what the starter bolts to........the trans then bolts to it.

It would be so that you can bolt it to Ford's bell, or switch it to go SAE.
