Jeff, I'm thinking your bell housing you have now is hard to find. I don't think I would alter it any. Maybe on E-pay you could find the bell with the right size retainer hole from a big block pickup truck?......................MO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Adams" <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hey guys, I'm gettng ready to put an 833 OD into my 64 Polara to replace the 833 already in there, which I think has the 4.3" retainer. What I'd like to know is if the bolt circle on the OD trans bearing retainer, which I think is 5.25", is the same as the bc on the 4.3" retainer. If not, how hard would it be to drill/tap the front of the OD trans to fit the 4.3" retainer? If I can't do that, then I'll have to have the bell housing machined to fit the big br, and that would keep me from being able to go back to the small br if I blow up the OD trans. Confused now?? I am! Jeff Adams 64 Polara ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
