7.3 trans on a 7.5

Hello, I have read that a 7.3 trans will bolt to a 7.5-460 by drilling a bell housing bolt hole. This is a ZF5 I am looking at, can someone that has done this share all the details?

Have not done it. Don't think I'd want to either.

Here's a picture of one that has been claimed to have been done. Looks like more then one hole.

Just so it does not get lost, I am going to stick this here. It's a ZF 5 Speed Service Manual.

If you switch Flywheels be careful of late model External Balance units. Looks like input shafts vary in size. Have fun.
