[WANTED] Bellhousing

[Verno]

Still looking for a '75+ A body 318/360 4speed OD bellhousing.

Unless I am mistaken, there's no difference between a standard A833 and the OD A 833 in terms of the bellhousing. I have a SB unit, 9-1/2" clutch, casting number 2465523. It shows as a 64-66 unit for a 273. I'm not any kind of SB wizard, but I'm sure someone smarter than I am - which is just about everyone - will chime in if this will fit.

The OD units are specific, are a different casting number and have a larger diameter to accept the larger OD bearing retainer.

I have one, as well as a cast iron OD A body box, floor hump and most parts needed for a conversion. I am saving these for a project that I dont yet have (LOL) and didn't really want to sell, but might.

Verno, you from Victoria BC? Send me a pm if you want to discuss my parts. I am in kelowna.

I knew someone smarter than me would show up. Thanks for the info.

you can have the opening on a regular bell machined to fit
or machine down the retainer
if you cant find the "correct" bell
