Has anyone used a quicktime bellhousing for a 360 to a/833 od transmission

Ok so i might be a bit slow understanding this but for that one did you take a bellhousing with the smaller bearing and machine a spacer? Sorry I’ve been trying to find a bellhousing specific to the 75-76 5.125 retainer but if there’s some way of taking an older bellhousing with 4.80 retainer ring that would make all this much easier

That’s what my thread was asking.
“Can I used a large bolt pattern 4.08 bearing retainer to replace the large bolt pattern wider 5.125 diameter bearing retainer on a OD trans.

You can use the 4.807 front bearing retainer on the O/D. It has the same bolt pattern as the 5.125 O/D front bearing retainer.

This allows me & you to use the large bolt pattern retainer with the smaller 4.08 diameter size on the OD.
I did this this was possible but I wasn’t 100% sure, so I made the thread.

The POWER of the forum! Wooooo!
