: I'm in the process of picking up parts to
: install a V-8 Blowproof behind my slant six.
: I have the Belhousing and I am keeping my
: eyes open for a flywheel to have modified
: for the slant 6 pattern. My question is,
: were any of the factory flywheels steel?
: Possibly the 340? Or were they all cast like
: the slant 6. I know the 340 would turn some
: serious RPM, and thought maybe they would be
: a good candidate ? I know the blowproof will
: contain everything, but I'd just as soon not
: have an explosion in the first place.

: Thanks, Rick

: i've had a few m/t cars and as far as i could
: tell the flywheels were all cast iron, with
: the only differences being in the diameter
: of the crank hub and weight. i picked up a
: weber aluminum flywheel a while back and it
: appears to be a real nice piece.
: my question to you is where did you get a
: blowproof bellhousing to fit a slant six? i
: really want one.

: James I used a scattershield from the 340 Mopar
: than made a plate that bolts to the slant 6
: block and the shield. The plate was made
: from 3/8" thick aluminum. The stater
: was than mounted low on the slant engine. I
: have used this for three years with no
: problems.I am also using the redrilled 340
: flywheel.

: dave-
: so what you're saying is that i can run a small
: block shield on a slant? the 3/8 al. plate
: you fabbed bolt to the block, then the
: shield bolts to the plate? on the redrilled
: flywheel, i suppose the "off
: center" hole is the one that is the
: target of the operation? the s/b flywheel is
: necessary because of the new starter
: location? is the starter mounted to the
: "block plate?" if so, then would
: it be possible to mount the starter closer
: to the crank ceterline to use the smaller
: flywheel? i was hoping to run my n.o.s.
: weber al. flywheel (faster revs/clutch
: action.)
