[Chevelle-list] Flywheel - number of teeth

[Tom Rightler]

153 tooth flywheels are on all small block V-8's EXCEPT the small block 400.  168 tooth flywheels are on ALL big block engines and the 400 small block.  Yes, the starters are different.  The 168 tooth flywheel allows for a 12" clutch as opposed to the 10.5: clutch found on small block cars.
Do a search on in the transmission section of Team Chevelle for more info.

  Subject: [Chevelle-list] Flywheel - number of teeth


  In building up my 396 motor for my 67, I am looking at a new flywheel.  I see an option to have either 153 teeth or 168 teeth.  Why is there a difference?   Are these different diameter, or do you need to have a different starter gear?  I plan to use the Lakewood bell housing, so the diameter should not be a problem.



  Advice?



  Thanks in advance.



  Bill
