Adapter Plates
Adapter plates go between the bell housing and the transmission. They are not always needed.
If you perform the Jeep shaft swap then you don't need an adapter plate.
**NOTE** The V8 T5 with a 26 spline input shaft does not need the adapter plate.
Vintage Metalworks - I have spoken to Dave Farwell of Vintage Metalworks on several occasions and he is VERY helpful. Dave will help you get what you need to put your T5 into service. LINK HERE
HotRodWorks.com sells many different adapter plates. LINK HERE
Davis Speed Equipment in Madison, Wisconsin sells a 9 gauge adapter plate. LINK to their Facebook Page

You might need a longer speedometer cable. These options may be what you need.

Speedometer Converters (VSS to Cable)
If you have a T5 with the VSS speedometer output and want a working cable speedometer, then you can buy a conversion device to make it work. The only 2 sources I know of are Dakota Digital ECD-100 and Cable-X.
