The torque converters should share the same diameter though. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

I can get(read I have) an empty auto case a lot cheaper than a manual bell housing. If the flywheel would work in it, that would make things easier, and cheaper. Just thinking out loud a bit...

You aren't the first to think like that. The questioned was posed to me by someone wanting to do the same thing , I haven't looked into it though.

Here I was going to try a different approach and just measure the diameter of a torque coverter out in my shop and compare it to the diameter of the flywheel listed on 440 Source! It's a little warm here this weekend for me to get out on my walker. I just thought maybe someone knew the answer off the top of their head. Thanks for teaching me how to fish.
