H 226 and 8BA Flathed Flywheels

[Smitty]

Hi All,
Does anyone know if H series 6 cyl engines and 8BA share the same flywheel?


Thanks, Steve

Not the same

Thanks, saved me from buying a flywheel that won't fit. I will have to remove the flywheel in the car and have it re-drilled for diaphragm pressure plate.

The ring gear is different as well as the starter drive gear. The ring is extremely difficult to find, but I came up with a guy named Al Suering in Pennsylvania that deals only in ring gears. I had to wait almost a year til he produced another batch of six and one day the phone rang and it was him ready so ship. The starter interchanges with the V8's, but the H drive gear has either one more or one less teeth. What's the clutch and transmission and what vehicle?
