Flywheel questions...

I think Greg is right. I found the same picture online and read what the guy was saying when he posted it, and per my understanding that would be a 3.7L bellhousing.

Here is the thread I found it in.

Also, I noticed that the above pictured one doesn't have a slot for the crank sensor, while the 3.9 Dakota one's do, in addition to differences in where the vent is.

The thing that confuses me is, Clair made it sound like there are no provisions for mounting a starter, while I see bosses there. I suspect they aren't tapped and are oversized, but there is still a flange and holes. He also said it wasn't deep enough, but that could be fix with a dremel or something. Is it not possible that there is enough meat there to use the holes and bolt up a standard starter? Maybe a helicoil or something would bring it down to the right sizes, or build a plate that has studs or something that fits on from the back side? Oh wait, I'm assuming the bolt pattern would be the same, aren't I.

I'd sure like to see those picture Clair sent you, Greg. I'd be willing to put them on my photobucket account and link them here, if there were no issues.
