Digging up old bones here but some of us are still curious.712edf wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 8:56 pmWhat is the diameter of the 158 tooth flywheel?

The motor and transmission were removed from a street sweeper. After removing the bellhousing and the I noticed that it had a 13inch clutch. So I removed the clutch and pressure plate and I notice that the flywheel looked to be same diameter as the big block 361 hydrualic setup flywheel plus it had the six bolt holes and not the eight bolts pattern. The flywheel removed from the 318 that came out of a street sweeper had 158 teeth with six bolt and the big block flywheel removed from the heavy duty hads 186 teeth with eight bolt. Looks like I have to remove the ring gear from the heavy duty flywheel 186 teeth and put it on the 318 flywheel that was in a street sweeper so my big block stater will work. Other than that I need to have a spacer made so that the flywheel will not be engaged with the starter all the time. Also I will have to use the four speed from the street sweeper or change the inpute shaft so the bigger clutch will work. I dont know if all industrial 318 with manual trans have the bigger diameter flywheel with the 13inch cluctch but this one did. The engine was dated 1982 and had a tag from chrysler mounted on the cylinder head. Hope this info will help somebody else.
What is the diameter of the 186 tooth flywheel?
What is the diameter of the input shaft of the transmission?

Watching with great interest. Be nice to have an alternative and possibly improved starterjackpine wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 2:28 pmI came at this from a slightly different angle
This starter carries the same Chrysler p/n as the 2 bolt starter used in industrial big block applications. It is used in slant six fork lift applications
If the picture is accurate it is a 2 bolt starter with a mounting configuration very similar to that of the direct drive starters used in big block trucks.
I am going to order one and see

It is possible that starter may work. It wouldn’t surprise me.jackpine wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 2:28 pmI came at this from a slightly different angle
