Flywheel questions...

LOL! SO... those creative juices are REALLY flowing now! :-)

So how would I approach this...

Over on www.car-part.com, if you do a search on 2003 Jeep Liberty - transmission bellhousing only- 3.7L, you'll find a couple for about 50 bucks. You can also find some 4.7 flywheels from the Durango and Liberty for cheap as well. Saw a 3.7L starter for 35 bucks. Could be if you contacted the vendors and requested a pic of the bellhousing and other items, you might get some more data points. Of course, the if you CAN use the 3.7 bellhousing, it might give a tad more room for headers.

....and.... I've found a REAL good source for pics and data and info is...... EBAY! Do searches on those items and you'll be able to connect to people that have them.

Just sayin...

"This ain't my first rodeo...."

I use car-part.com all the time. :D I have searched a multitude of times for all of these parts, the main issue is just that all of the yards are so far away from me. 2.5+ hours one way. I agree about asking them for some photos, I think I'll give that a shot. I use ebay as well for pictures of specific parts, but it's tough when the parts aren't listed. :sad1:

Can anyone confirm the 3.7L bellhousing is a passenger side starter? I feel like I've read this before but now I'm doubting it for some reason. If it is indeed passenger side starter than I don't see any point in pursuing using the 3.7L bell. I'm still looking for details on the 4.7L flywheel as it should work in the 3.9L bell.

I do know that some guys have swapped 5.7's in Dakotas and bolted them up to the original 4.7 trans.

Yeah, I figured the 4.7L must be pretty familiar... Hopefully the 4.7L's flywheel will be a usable option for the 3.9L bellhousing.
