10 spline or 26 spline input. here is 10 spline. Damper Drive Flex Plate for Volvo Penta Marine ZF Hurth replaces 841892-3 eBay here is 26 spline. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Centa-Marine...VZscCg&vxp=mtr if you add hurth to your search it removes the thousands of velvet drive plates and everything else. now, from what I hear, the standard chevy bell housing bolt pattern fits 5 of the 6 bolts on the rear wheel drive ls engine. BUT there is .4 inch diff in flywheel to mounting flange distance. your best bet is to talk to the people who sell these and find the ls engine forum.

Is this to bad? Marine Drive Plate GM Chevy 454 Damper 26 Spline 7K2C 1004-650-007 BBD3131UL | eBay

ZF 63A have 26 spline.

dereknkathy

don't know. can Hurth zf trannys bolt up to velvet drive adapter plates? they both say 26 spline. doesn't mean they work. will ANY work with the 4/10th inch diff in spacing using an LSx engine? I still think since there are so many more old-style engine options for you in Europe, you are better off with that. AND, running a Hurth trans implies more low-rpm use than an outdrive typically runs. the LS engine still makes less torque in the 3k rpm range than the old iron stuff. BTW, what trans, flywheel, adapter plate do you have now? what engine came out? or is this a scratch build and you are buying the parts as you go?

At themoment I have troubles to find correct and not to expencive damper plate, other parts mostly we have there, or ordered. Any spacers etc we could build at home, we have machinery there.

Engine have originally instaled flex plate 14", but I do not know should I change it with flywheel or not?

dereknkathy

yes you will HAVE to relace the flex plate with a clutch flywheel. AND you will need a flywheel with the ring gear on the back side of the flywheel for the different starter location. I don't know if they make one. standard flywheels come with ability to move ring gear to other side of flywheel. you can PROBABLY use the standard starter in the standard location if correct flywheel cant be obtained.

It mean we need to drill in flywheel connection coils for damper plate?
