I just did this switch from 5 bolt to 6 bolt. I did use late model bell housing and had it drilled to match the narrow bolt pattern. I had them weld in the inside alumim boss’s to have enough threads to hold the trans. The front bearing retainer I bought from Dave Keton 4 speed on the web or it could be Dave keton toploaders. No probelm comes with new gaskets and seal bolts right on. I belive I had to change the size of the bell housing bolts on the 6 bolt are larger . I bougth them from National Parts Depot as a kit perfect.
