Default Re: Will 59 A-B flywheel fit an 8BA ?

Back in the 70s there was no internet to tell me it couldn't be done, I skimmed a little off the back of the 46 truck flywheel so it didn't rub, modified a starter drive to go deeper into the ring gear when the 49 mercury engine was used

Beating a ring gear off the flywheel will damage the retaining ledge that is larger in diameter than the area the ring gear is supposed to shrink into when it cools----
