"Big block" A833 close-ratio main cases with the 308 front bearing have the same bearing-retainer bolt pattern as the A833OD (which also uses a 308 bearing). That means you can swap the large (~5.1") OD retainer onto any 308 case. I have a friend who did exactly that. He's using an A/F-body overdrive bellhousing with a '68 383 transmission in a bench-seat '73 340 B-body. You use the fork for the bellhousing application, not the car.
