Well, the 4th of July weekend started out nice. My dad and I were planning to have the new engine reinstalled in the CS and running by the 4th. And then disaster strikes! I've got the wrong bellhousing. Or maybe it's the wrong flywheel? Either way, the starter won't reach the ring gear. And I don't have an old Model T crank handy.
The PO had replaced the J code 302 with a '69 351W which had a 164 tooth flywheel and matching bellhousing ( C5AA-6384-B) for the 4 speed tranny. My 347 stroker has a 157 tooth flywheel which has been balanced to the engine. So, I guess I need the smaller bellhousing ( 6384-A) and shield. Anyone have one to sell or trade? My 164 tooth 6384-B is in great shape.
Just as an aside - I've read that all 68+ 302s had the larger flywheel and bellhousing, is that right?
