My teenager is building a 64 sweptline. He put a 318 in it with a 90 3.9 v6 bell and a 833OD 4 speed. After bolting the starter in...we tapped it over and the starter just freewheeled. Pulled the dust shield off and realized there is like a 1/2" gap between the side of the starter gear and the flywheel teeth. Wish I would have checked that before he bolted it in the truck!

When we bought the bell, I thought all smallblocks were 130 tooth flywheels. I guess not. frown After searching posts...it appears he needs a 143 tooth internally balanced flywheel. I'm having trouble finding one except the $500 centerforce one...plus, I would like it to accept a 10.5 clutch since he already bought/installed a brand new one (on the 130tooth flywheel we have). Does such a thing exist? Anyone know where to find one?
