specs on 833 OD trans

[67Vette427]

I found an 833 OD trans and now I'm looking for a bell housing. It looks and correct me if I'm wrong that the bearing retainer plate is 5 1/4 " diameter which pretty much eliminates use of the 70 513 bellhousing? Do you have to use the truck bellhousing?

Its a 23 spline input shaft and I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to find a clutch for that set up. Of course I'd have to get a Hemi 8 bolt flywheel. There isn't any trouble using the truck bellhousing is there on the E-body?

It looks like most of the bellhousing used in these cars had a 4 5/8" opening? Is that correct?

Has anybody had any experience with the ability of that 833 OD to handle a 525 horse 540 foot pounds Hemi engine? This beast is a torque monster...... Breat too hard and it smokes the tires...

I ran a 833 OD in my Duster for years , it ran 11.7 1/4s & pulled the front wheels 2-3' off the ground launching , they seem to handle the power ok
 the common 70 trannys used thje 4.80 front brg retainers , the front retainer on the OD can be  machined down to 4.80 easily so you can use a normal behousing, & the 23 spline cltuches are common

OK honestly, how sick of "that thing got a Hemi" are you.

Serious - that is a mean machine  :thumbs:
And if I had a Hemi, I'd never tire thinking about it.

 :laughup:  You guys are too funny....


After I took the picture down by the water, I was driving past a couple about 45 years old and the man was just staring at the car. After I passed by he turned around real fast and pointed the car out to his wife, rather excitedly!

I just bought a 71 Cuda... Its on its way and should be here next week... here's a couple pics... I think April needs to get me some of those little houses with attached garages  :laughing:

Just pull the retainer off and take it to a machine shop Chryco?  Also the reverse stud got broken off in shipping. Are they pretty easy to replace and do you have to disassemble the trans?

[Chryco Psycho]

the reverse stud is basically the 1st part installed in the tranny so it has to come completely aprt , Passon can help with a new part at least

just remove the 4 1/2 bolts & remove the retainer & have it machined down to 4.80
