The starter plate looks like a good lowbuck idea. I wonder if you could use a torque convertor instead of the flywheel?




I doubt it. ATF would surely come out and make a mess. Run it dry and it will eventually self-destruct inside and come out of balance. That's assuming the flexplate doesn't break first - the converter really needs some support on the rear hub while it spins.

Flywheel is a much better idea.


Parts I seek: driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set 16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better. 69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields Send a PM.
