Hi Paul,  there is an interference problem between the inside flange

the S beam and the punched out tabs that are bent inward on the back
of
the flywheel.  Reducing the width of the flange  between the bolts
about .375 in would take care of this.  What do  you recommend?

I built the first one which looked beautiful until  I discovered I

had

made a stupid error in establishing  the center of the beam.   Number
one is trash.    Jerry

I would cut the tabs off the flywheel. I believe they are there to

cool

the torque converter. They actually consume a bit of HP at high RPM.

Perhaps you can use that first one later with a smaller center to
center
distance.

Paul,  FYI,  here is a new drawing of the S Beam  lay out.  You can bet
your retirement on these numbers.  I'm headed for Wisconsin tomorrow
for the pre Oshkosh Tailwind get together at Baraboo.  I don't think I
will make it to Oshkosh, however.   Jerry

Jerry,

Did you consider a lightened Manual flywheel - it should fit OK!
