Hey busnuts! Just a quick shoutout...looking for a spacer ring for either a VS2-8 or a V730. Anyone have a spare/one their willing to part with? Could also be interested in a 5.25" bellhousing spacer for the detriot 6/8 cylinder variant. Contact me here or off list. Thank you, Brandon | ||

Hey Dal, I went and re-read your comment. The issue is purely a 'depth of bellhousing' issue. I have photos to demonstrate on the camera. The bellhousing on my 6-71 is much shallower than a 6v71/8v71, thus I need a thicker spacer to make up for the difference. I was advised that 6-71's could come with deeper bellhousings, so that may have been the bolt-up that you saw. I'd still like to find another spacer OR eventually build/find a single 5.25" spacer. Thanks for following up! | ||

might be easier and cheaper to change the housing on the end of the engine. | ||

OK, I saved the engine housing that the V-730 bolted up to. surface to surface(machined)-6 5/8 inches. Depth of housing recess where trans bolts to is 4 3/8. This housing of from the Flxible with 6V-71. | ||
