Cool! That's the T-14 pattern then, almost certainly. Yeah,
I'd mill out clearance aroudn the lower two holes, and fit a
steel plate that lowers the two holes. Nuts'n'bolts as you say.

I don't quite picture what you said here... so the SR-4 (and
presumably T-4) bearing retainer is bigger than the T-96. What
do you mean by redrilling the retainer?

Enlarging the center hole on the bellhousing would be a PITA. Off
center would really suck!
