running a flexplate instead of a flywheel
I have a 22' scarab with a 350 mag. I have to replace the flywheel due to some bad teeth can i run a regular flexplate thats a little lighter? I know its a little thinner i was wondering if anybody tried it?

you dont need to replace the flywheel,your local napa can get a starter ring for that flywheel..pick the year of the engine and order that year but in a chevy truck with a stick shift,,warm up the ring with a torch and take a punch and a hammer and knock the ring off..put the flywheel in the freeezer over night and leave it their until you inatall the new ring..place the flywheel on a flat hard serface,warm up the new ring and set it on the flywheel and tap it into place and flush with the machined slot on the flywheel...the ring is between 35 and 50 bux..
