Post subject:  another old A903 question

Just joined the org about 3 minutes ago, but a longtime reader. Now I feel legit. I am attempting a four-speed A833 into a 67 Barracuda /6 in order to make an engine swap more interesting. I have the small 8 bellhousing that came with the trans, the A903 b.h., and a /6 four-speed b.h. with a 5.125 IBR circle. Naturally, the 833 I have has the smaller bearing/ flange IBR combo. Any adaptors available?javascript:emoticon(':|')

Thanks DionR. It looks like Brewers has a retainer adapter ring to match the 4.354" bearing retainer to the 4.805" bellhousing opening, in case anyone needs one of them. The opening in this one is 5.125 in what I think is a four-speed O.D. bellhousing, An adapter ring seems like the economical way to go.

Your right, my mistake. I was thinking there were only two sizes, guess there are three.

My apologies. :oops:

Perhaps "roll your own"?

Here's an article that talks about just what you are asking.

Maybe that will help more than my earlier suggestion.

You probably could get a machine shop to make you a spacer. It may be possible the change the front case with a new case from Passion Performance that had a retainer of this size. I am not sure they have one that will take a retainer this size because there site seems to be down at the moment. As soon as the site is up I will look into it.

Passon makes a 5.125" OD adapter ring for $39. I've not seen it in their online catalog, so it must be one of those miscellaneous parts they stock. Jamie at Passon offered one to me via email, so that's how I came to find out.

What I don't know is if they have one for both the 4.35 and 4.80 bearing retainers, or if you would have to buy a 4.80 bearing retainer to go along with the adapter ring to make this work.

I gave you a faulty answer previously, so thought I would try and make up for it.

For all I know, it might be too late any ways.
