Now I'm ready to buy the parts so I need to confirm again if I got this right. The 1966-69 426 Hemi used a 172 tooth flywheel with a 11" 2892259 bell housing and a direct drive starter. That setup can be replaced with a 11" 2892262 or 2892626 bell housing, 143 tooth flywheel and a high torque starter can be used. Do I have this correct? Thx Wolf.

I have a couple of bell housings for 11" which is why I was hoping to save money not having to buy a new housing. And yes I am using the stock exhaust manifolds. Is there a casting number for the 10.5" bell housing? The 10.5" flywheel....do you know what the teeth count is? With the 10.5" will I be able to bolt in a high torque starter and function with no issues? Thx, Wolf

The 10 1/2" flywheel is 130 tooth and changing to it will allow the use of all gear reduction starters. You might have to change the Z-bar. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

We can do some trading on bells if you want. Best to contact me through the website. Not on here often. Dan A833 4-speeds, parts & services http://www.brewersperformance.com/
