Try George_Wellman@sbphrd.com He can manufacture an adapter that will work to whatever ratio you need. As I understand it the 5.83 gears used a 4-tooth driver gear. But with 4.89s you need a 5-tooth driver gear. He'll custom make one for about $85. I haven't done mine yet, but plan on it shortly. I have a 53 M37 with a 353 Detroit Diesel repower and 4.89s. I top out at about 65 on the HWY but my new speedo (without the adapter) reads about 47 mph.
If you use George, let me know how it works out.
Good luck,
Alan
