Flywheel install adatper/cone???
Finally warm here in Wyoming. I’m finishing the last pieces of the build. I ran into a problem though. Flywheel doesn’t matte up. Is there an adapter I need for an after market wheel ? No way it will fit over the ring in the picture .
as a refresher. Here’s the link for the 454 build. My wife went back to Mayo Clinic again but makes progress every day…albeit very slowly. Flywheel is a ram billet steel 168tooth neutral balanced wheel. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...bbdcb40675.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...4c032c3ca.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...f8a394bfc.jpeg |
You need a flywheel for a one-piece rear main seal. The one you have is for the older two-piece seal style crankshaft.

I think I figured out my issue. I ordered one with a 0.4 inch larger center bore. Ram-1550X

Pretty sure you need either a Ram 1501 or 1502 depending on if you want 30lb or 40lb. A stock GM flywheel is about 32 lbs. I actually weighed one today for someone. The first two on this list: https://ramclutches.com/ram-true-bal...let-flywheels/ |

The 1550X is an LS flywheel, not for a big block.

It happens. Big projects, you'd be hard pressed not have some mistakes here and there. Limiting it to minor things is the trick.

I hear this.... I bought a Livorsi oil temp gage to match all my Gaffrig gauges. :rolleyes: Still haven't got it sent back yet. Thanks. Brad. |
