Just wondering if the later cast crank flywheel is different from the earlier steel crank? Did they balance differently? Also, has anyone used a bigger flwheel/clutch set-up in their car? I have a centerforce clutch/pressure plate combo that I would love to utilize, but I can't see it working without a bigger bellhousing, as it's for a small block. Tom sschultz@telusplanet.net |

As far as I know, the steel/cast flywheels are the same. Dennis slantzilla@excite.com |

There is also an 11" setup used on trucks and HD apps, but is very unusual and has it's own bellhousing. Lou Lou |

It is always a good idea to check component balance when "mix & matching" parts from who knows what. The SL6 is a 122 tooth flywheel except for the jumbo 11 inch truck set-up. There is no easy way to use a small block 10 1/2 or 11" clutch on these flywheels. See the article on this for more info. DD |
