A535/ NP2500 bellhousing

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.

I just wasn't sure about drilling new holes in the bell housing, strength wise. The bearing retainer is slightly longer than the 833.

The input shaft were the same length up to the splines. The A535 is a little longer where it goes into the crankshaft. But not by much. I could see where the pilot bearing was riding on the shaft and it looks like it would be OK on the 833 input shaft.


Has anyone else used the A535 bell on a 833?
