Is the housing solid, where the 833 pattern is?
If so, I don't see why it wouldn't work, if the starter ring gear on the flywheel is 130 tooth and is the same diameter for the later trans.
One thing you may want to check is total depth. check how deep it is with a T square, from the engine mount face of the bellhousing, to the transmission mount area. If it's the same depth as an 833 bellhousing, your spline and crank index should be good.
If you need depth measurement from an 833 bell, I can get it from mine.
