Help with flywheel

[nutz4spd]

I'm spending the next 2-3 months sprucing up my '62 Dodge. From what I have been able to tell the previous owner swapped in a mildly built 1965 413, with an A833 from a '69 Charger. I have the motor and bellhousing out so I can touch up the engine bay and motor. The flywheel looks like it has some small hairline cracks in the friction surface, and I want to take it to see if it can be resurfaced. I've found a couple of numbers on the flywheel, but I haven't been able to determine much about it. The ring gear has 2843214 stamped into it, which I found is just for the ring gear. The flywheel has 9015 and 180 degrees from it is 05069. The bellhousing has 2892626 39028 with I believe a date code of 4-069. Am I correct in thinking the bellhousing and flywheel are all from 1969?

This is what I came up with:
Bellhousing 11 inch 1969 B & C body 383. Also used on 69-71 trucks 383 & 413.

Not sure on flywheel, but if it's cracked I would consider replacement.

You are probably seeing heat checking in that area and it’s nothing to worry abou.

Most clutch companies have a flywheel exchange program. They sell flywheels that have checked for cracks and ground to specs. Very inexpensive for street applications.

This is the flywheel surface. You can see what looks like small cracks in the surface towards the inside.

A 69 383 4 spd C body would be a rare one.

A 69 383 4 spd C body would be a rare one.

I found the same info. Although what I found said 383 and 440, but a 1969 B and/or C body was the same. No trucks listed. Why would a C body 383 4spd be rare?

Count the teeth on the flywheel between two cover holes and multiply X 6.
143 = 11"
130 = 10-1/2"

Because they never made one after 68.

Those look like heat cracks and they usually aren’t very deep. They may grind out, only way to know is to get it ground.
Depending on how “built” the engine is, a cast iron flywheel may be dangerous.
I believe NHRA requires a steel flywheel with solid lifters. RPM’s and extra clutch pressure can be a bad combo.

It could probably be re-surfaced just fine. I would take it to a good machine shop and get their opinion.
