Cutting A833 Input Shaft Question

I may be wrong but I don't think standard Mopar aluminum 833 OD or GM cases had these gussets.............

FWIW, The MP Chassis book implies all bell housings are the same length at 7.380". Realize adding a .125" block saver plate relocates the stock pivot point rearward as well.

This input appears to have been shortened already. I wouldn't be too anxious to chop any more off of it. Once you have the bell setup you're going to use you'll have a better idea of what mod may be necessary...

Hi Dave, all good points here thanks. You make a good point with the gussets.

If it has been shortened what do you think it has been shortened for and with an 18 spline?

What's this MP chassis book you talk of? I did a search and couldn't find much about it.

The machine job looks very good if they have done one. I almost need a custom-made bell housing to make it available behind a 6 and an SBM but I don't think this is possible.

Thanks for your "input" :-)
