mopar big block flywheel

[steve maluk]

hello all
i fired a 440 on a firing stand with a big block 11 inch 143 tooth flywheel. i want to fire my 540 hemi to break cam in on the same stand with the aluminum bell housing that i have that bolts up to the hemi. I know that i need to get a hemi flywheel do i purchase a hemi 11 inch 143 tooth flywheel. will the starter that i used to fire the 440 work on the hemi with the same bellhousing
thanks all

I believe that the aluminum factory bellhousing uses a 130 tooth flywheel. You need a 69 and older cast iron bellhousing to use the 143 tooth flywheel.

The starter used on the 143 tooth FW should work with the 130 tooth with a possible exception. I believe some mini starters may have clearance issues with the block as the starter is closer to it with the smaller (130 tooth) FW.
