RE: A833 OD questions

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Doug, I was hungry! I picked up the tranny and had the car on the 
rack to compare...the tailhouses are the same length, but the trans 
mount is in a different location, but I can fab that ok, I think. The 
shifter mount pad seems to be in the same location on both. The OD has a 
bracket to raise the shifter up higher, but I can work around that, too. 
The other issue you pointed out is the size of the bearing retainer. The 
OD retainer is 5.25", but I don't know the size of the standard 
833..anybody have that measurement? I'm not ready to pull the trans to 
measure it.
