5.9 Magnum MPI swap flywheel idea

I think the best bet for me is going to be to find a bellhousing from an early v6 Dakota with an A535, a flywheel from a later MPI v6 Dakota, and a flexplate from a 5.9 Magnum.

The Dakota A535 bell should allow me to bolt my A833 OD to the back of the 5.9 Magnum (with a small modification) and run a 143T flywheel, but it probably won’t allow an 11" clutch (which is fine with me).

The MPI v6 Dakota flywheel might need to be neutrally balanced, but then I should be able to bolt my 10.5" Centerforce clutch up to it without any other modifications.

After I knock the tone ring off the flywheel, the flexplate should bolt up and give me the proper balance for the 5.9 Magnum, as well as the tone ring for the computer. This part is still kind of iffy, though.

If money were not a problem, I would agree that turning down a 5.9 flywheel would be the best bet; provided I could find someone who could do it (fzmax said he couldn't get it done).

If the flywheel already had a neutral balance, the only machine work would be the one bolt hole that is off on the bellhousing.
