That's a huge size difference. I just did a quick search on the net, and most of the manufacturers only do -4 to 1/4 inch (as the biggest size)You might want to call Earl's, Russell, Aeroquip, or some of the other manufacturers to see if they make the part you want. It isn't a common adapter, that's for sure.

5/8-18 is a natl fine bolt thread and requires a 37/64 tap drill ! Sounds like some thing you will have to have custom made . Everytime I need something like that I have to make it . Monty needed a similar type fitting but smaller I made up for his twin turbo project !

I needed a special fitting for my hydraboost that would clear the hydraulic master cylinder and nothing available would give a tight enough radius.
My local shop took two steel fittings, cut them and then brazed them together. It looked like one fitting when then were done. This might be the best near term option.

Marck;
A 5/8-18 male to -6an male would be an Aeroquip #FCM2108 or Earls #991947. It is a common carb adaptor fitting.
The 5/8-18 female to -6an male is a difficult one. I can't come across one in any of my catalogs.

Well, thanks to Pete I now have 1 part # 
I'll go look for the other..if there is one. I'll have to search the net for that aeroquip catalog again (automotive & hydraulic stuff)... maybe I can find it in there.

I'm thinking about doing what G said, just make my own. Gotta get some T6 aluminum, have drills & taps. Why does everything always have to be some damn hard 
...and these crappy shops here don't help either, they don't carry anything but all that silly ricer crap. I live in the wrong country I tell ya!

LOL...I don't have klompen (wooden shoes for those that don't know what g is talking about )
The definition of "good" parts here is useless aluminium stuff, chicken wire and plastic crap ..don't need that
Hey G, how's your ride coming along, tranny in yet? Last things I've seen was your custom manual shifter.
