Mopar 833 OD Behind a 218 Flat 6....Who's Got One?? Give Up The Info!!!

So, I have an 833 that I was planning on using for another project but I have decided on a different route for that one. Well now I have a nice 833 with the 4th gear OD and I need OD now that my original OD failed on me.

So what would be involved in swaping in this trans?

I would love as much info as possible as I have a close friend with the same trans and a need for one in his '56 Dodge Panel.


Thanks alot!!!

"73RR" (QEC) lists flathead adaptors, check with him.

 

Thanks George!

The easiest way to mount the A-833 is to find a 6-cyl bellhousing-flywheel-starter from the 59-60 era (Later units may be the same, I am not positive) These bells have a nearly perfect depth and the 'hole' is only slightly small for the O/D bearing retainer. Not too long ago one of the guys over at www.p15-d24.com had some pics posted of this bell as well as the A-833 sitting on it. If I can locate the link I'll post it.

The other option is to use an adapter and mount the post-63 smallblock bellhousing. Keep in mind that this then requires that the flywheel match the bellhousing (130 vs 143 vs 172 teeth). You will also need to use the late 12V starter. An early wheel can be used if a late ring gear is installed.
One other note to keep in mind is that there are 4 different front bearing retainer diameters and the bellhousing should be matched to the trans. The OD trans has the largest retainer diameter.

I can get you an adapter for $100, my buddy makes them. With it the 833 is a bolt on. Contact me at bkollar44060@msn.com

 

$100 doesn't buy much. How about some pics and details?

I'm a bit interested also. What else would be needed to make the adapter work?


73RR, Thanks so much for all the info. I will measure the retaining ring tomorrow.
