Front Bearing Retainer
« on: September 28, 2008 - 10:55:56 AM »
4spd info,
Can I bolt up a 4.807 bearing retainer to a 4spd that has a 4.354?
Reason being I'm probably going to put a Lakewood scatter shield in the Cuda.
The front hole is 4.807 on the shield..
Thanks Guys...

no , the bolt pattern is differnet between the two , I have seen some spacer rings made to increase the diameter of the small 4.35 retainer though

Thanks CP....
