Ken, have you tried these guys  www.utxchange.com    1-800-527-1637  I have had good luck with them on my Bennett shifter by speaking with the shop formen first so I would know what part to ask for, call him I think he can help   good luck

Ken here is 1 more place for you to try S&J Chevrolet 562-219-2483 ask for Bob Ward don't let the S&J name fool you these guys are a large Allision dealer if Bob hasn't retired he will know where to get it (I hope)  good luck I am out of contacts

Ken, are you positive the 6 bolt will not work DD is famous for using 1 part for different bolt patterns and engines.I know on my harmonic balancer hub it has 10 bolts holes but you use 8   good luck

[Bob Gilbert]

The DD manual has a chapter on taping out the dowel stud hole to make a 8 hole crank out of a 6 hole, you might check into drilling out the dowel hole to make it a 8 hole. Just a thought. Bob

The 6 bolt hub will work on a 8 bolt crank and if you want 8 bolts drill the centre hub    have a great day

hi i have called the sharf place , but  they want part numbers, ive tried to find a 5c parts book, but i cant find one, the one place i talked to said that it has the part number, but they didnt have time to look it up, they said they talked to mci directly and they were the one that said it was no longer aval , thanks again guys, starting to think that maybe  a small block check could go in there, 0 to 60 in 15 min
