I had one of these bells years ago that I got out of the junkyard for a friend but he didn't want it because it was for use with a hydraulic clutch slave.
Do you have a small block 833 parts trans laying around ?
no I do not have a 833 trans
I have a 82 d150 833OD trans with the 5.125 bearing retainer. it was a /6 833OD 4 speed truck (I have the /6 bell) I got a 72-B-body SB bell for 833 4 speed.
I replaced the 85 cab with a 91 cab so it has hydro clutch system. so a hydro bell or mech bell with the 5.125 hole will work for me.
or find a 70s B/E-body 833 trans for the 72 bell I have.
seems the correct bell housing for a 833OD truck is like HENS TEETH as I have not seen one around yet. I have yet to see a reasonable priced used B-body 4 speed as well.
but it does look like I can order a rebuilt one shipped to the door for 3-4 grand.
are you sure your hydro bell was 833 bolt pattern? I have not seen any v6-v8 hydro bells with the 833 bolt pattern. (not say they are not out there) I have a 88 v6 d100 hydro bell that has duel pattern but for a 435 4 speed or A535 5 speed.
oh one other option if I could find one out there is the A535 5 speed out of a v6-DAK before it went to a 9-bolt T15 5 speed.
