There are endless possibilities out there to modify or upgrade a vehicle. Probably a little more information is needed as to what your plans are such as what rear end, etc. If you plan to pull stumps, cruise, or race, that is relevant also.

Might do a Google to see if they are still around.

However, purchasing an expensive adapter when other stock parts are readily available is working backwards in my opinion.
Also expect clutch, driveshaft, and other modifications to be required. It's all a matter of experience, source of parts,
and of course, funds.

Bullet proof is also a term used for Muncie 4 speed transmissions. They were installed in GM HD trucks for 50 years, numerous military vehicles, HD forklifts, common choice for off road specialty vehicles, and others.
Nothing wrong with Warner transmissions however.
