Re: 215 Clutch and pressure plate questions
I have a Ford 10" and it could probably fit if I drilled the flywheel however my friction surface diameter on my flywheel is only 9.75"

Re: 215 Clutch and pressure plate questions
The pressure plate should be the same bolt pattern as the Long style, the 9.5 disc may work fine but you can use a 300 Buick 10" disc. Machine the surface of the flywheel down level same as the outside area..

Re: 215 Clutch and pressure plate questions
Buick 215 stroker with 300 crank? Not sure if you have seen this:
"The rear of the Buick 300 crankshaft is 0.56" longer than the Rover crank it replaces. Therefore both the stock Rover and the Buick 300 flywheels will interfere with the bellhousing. The extra crankshaft length also places the flywheel ring gear out of reach of the starter. D&D Fabrication has engineered a special steel flywheel which both fits well inside the bellhousing and places the ring gear in it's proper position. This flywheel is drilled for a 10.4" Chevrolet clutch cover." [www.britishv8.org] |
Re: 215 Clutch and pressure plate questions
Hi Carl - yes but I believe my motor was built by Phil Baker or at least to his specifications. I really have no clue as to the origin of my flywheel except the 9.75 dia friction surface, the 3x2 clutch mounting pattern and the two vent holes which suggest it started as an Olds 215 flywheel.
