Re: 8rt bellhousing
Well this is what I found... Looks like the engine with the 11" clutch still has it's starter plate. Should only need that cast BH. I have 2 stamped ones and my other 8ba needs a clutch, flywheel and bh. I found a 9" clutch and a flywheel that looks like it will accomodate the 9 incher. How can I tell if this wheel is correct for the 8ba and not from an earlier type. This engine is stuck and maybe today I will pull the heads and intake for a look-see. I have seen people in videos removing the head bolts with an impact wrench. Is this good practice?
