Early LA / Slant six flywheel interchage

Do the early 273 flywheels inchange with the Slant six motors ? Thanks

Strictly, no. LAs have an offset bolt hole, slants are evenly spaced. Some people redrill or oval one hole to make it fit; or you could just get the correct flywheel.

Thanks.....didn't have a LA crank available and passed off a 9 1/2 flywheel I had to a buddy. They have no part #'s that I can find.....

I'm close to I-20 and Spur 408 - Soutwest Dallas......my man cave/shop was over in Trinity Groves off Commerce. Funny I think I pulled out anouther Slant 6 flywheel today but spied one on the back of a 360 I have also - pretty sure it's for a steel crank and not a 360 one. I'm trying to help a guy get a 65 Cuda from a Slant to a 273 he picked up.

I’m one of the suckers that redrilled. After machining and resurfacing I maybe should have just bought a 10” 273 flywheel from Brewers for not much more.
