Also, the retainer O.D. is much larger on the aluminum cases. ~5&1/8" iirc

Good god, don't scrap it! Give it to someone who can use it.

I run them in my street cars, no issues. I've even put non OD gut i them and run them because it' easier to benchpress into place.
Chrysler put them into everything for over a decade, most in pickups. If they were junk they would have not kept the aluminum case in production.
I have three of them.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

So many parts that we used to take for granted because they were so common, are now getting harder and harder to find. It would be a shame to "junk" something rather than offer it up to see if someone could use it. Not everyone races their Mopar, some just drive them.
Master, again and still

Not everyone races their Mopar, some just drive them. Yep and to add to this, the typical Moparts answer is the money is no object everyone must be a straight line only hardcore drag racer. Yeah, that's about 2 people on this list with a crap ton of pretenders.

does he use a regular bellhousing or an o.d.one? Yes it will use a regular BB bellhousing , you said it measured 4.7 ? It can't, the bolt circle would be out past the edge of the retainer.
running up my post count some more .
