Anyone have a flywheel for an 8ba for a 10" clutch? I can really use one. I have a 8ba flywheel for an 11" and a earlier 40-48 time frame flywheel with a 9" clutch. I don't need either.

I am putting the 8ba together (slowly). I am missing a lot of bolts since they didn't come with the engine when I bought it. I am not looking to put SS bolts. So, I don't want to go down to the local Home Depot and buy cheap fasteners. I have a Fastenall near by and can order from grainger, but...

I have the valve spring assemblies out of the 8ba and the connecting rods and pistons. I am sure you will laugh when you read my questions, but how do you remove the key from the crank? Then how do I get the slinger and timing gear off the crank? Also, how do I get to the (4) 1/2" bolts from...
