Wilcap (Transmission Adapters) Still in Business?

[Bob Riding]

I need to buy a flexplate and hub to attach my Mopar-GM Wilcap adapter plate (on my 265) to a GM 2004R trans.  The Wilcap aluminum adapter plate came free with a 218 motor I bought a few years ago. According to the phone message, the company is now called Transmission Adapters but they are still using the Wilcap web pages.

 

They are based in Wisconsin, and when I call day or night, I get "We are experiencing high call volume and sales orders. Leave a message and send an email and we'll get back to you"  I've not received a call back or email response in a month of trying.

Anyone have recent experience with these guys? Also is anyone else making an auto trans adapter for our flatties? If I didn't already own the GM 2004R, I'd just try to find a TorqueFlite and be done with it!

Good morning, Bob,

I bought a kit about a year ago. I was just looking to get two more soon.

Good luck, please update me also.

Thank you

Just trying online and as you I found the new co. that took over for the Old Wilcap. They have posted on their pages (web) the same old Wilcap adaptor list as it was.

 

I screen shot'ed it though and the current price for the adapter setup you want is $750 and states sold out!  Will they make any more??

 

Screenshot was not able to post I believe.

 

Try this?  Working?

Thanks DJ. Yes- I got the same result. All the web pages say Wilcap, (and all of the Mopar-related pages say sold out) but the contact info is for the new company and the old phone number in Pismo Beach CA doesn't work. I'd drive over to the coast to check out what used to be the brick and mortar store, but all that's listed now is a P.O. box. Maybe somebody passed away?

Speed Gems bought Wilcap.  They are on Facebook.  I was told via Messenger they are working on an adapter for the GM transmission.  The Wilcap inventory was sold out and some issue with production of new ones.  Supposed to be ready early 2023.

Adam, thanks for the nod. 

For some odd reason I have been unable to log in as Wayfarer for a very long time and requests for assistance went unanswered so I created a new account under QEC...probably should have used it in the first place....

Anyway, yes, I do have adapters but only for the TF.
