SM465 guru's: input bearing retainer size

[cabledawg]

As the title says, I need to know what the bearing retainer size is for a 84-87 465 trans. I used to have a website that had all sorts of good info for these, but now I cant find it. And no I dont feel like pulling the trans just to measure the retainer. Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced!

5.125"...I have an '87 350 with 465 bell in my carport i just measured. FWIW, the NV4500 I also have has the same input retainer size.

Thanks again Rene. I'm getting ready to order my Ranger OD and they have two sizes 4.6?? and the 5.125". I didnt know the exact year for the trans and couldnt find a refernce to the size of the retainer. When I get this in, I'll mabe start my own build thread (it's been long enough) and we'll see how it does in the mountains later this spring.
