Re: '63 K NV4500 removal / reverse build thread

I also just received an old 465 - np205 combo that I had sitting at my brother's place up by Sac. I was thinking of using the bellhousing off of that and converting it to a hydraulic so I could get rid of the low hanging slave cyl. thats on the one currently in the truck. Now I've heard that there is a size difference in the bearing retainers of the 465 and the 4500. I read somewhere of someone having turned down the input bearing retainer on the 4500 and using the older bellhousing. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this? Is the bolt pattern the same on the transmissions?
