Lakewood bellhousing help needed

[50coupe]

For the hemi destined for my Cuda, I have an older Lakewood with a four digit part number (#1531) where the newer versions have a five digit number. It also has only one starter mounting point where later ones have two locations. The TTI headers I have require the common mini starter I believe. I have not been able to find out which flywheel (tooth count) Lakewood made this bell for. My question is: Which or is there a flywheel that will be compatible with this bell and the starter required?

Thanks in advance

You only have 2 choices. 130 or 143 tooth. Your starter holes may or may not need modification, I don’t know, just mock it all up and see?

Only trouble is I don't have any flywheels to try a mockup. Aren't there 3 possible flywheels that might be used? 130,143,and 172(direct drive starter only?)? Thanks

If the early Lakewood is only setup for the 172 then I need a different bell. I just can't find the info.

Since you don't have one, he can probably set you up with the correct flywheel also.

Besides, Lakewood scatter shields are notorious for not aligning the transmissions well. Do you even have the block saver that goes with it?

Do yourself a favor and get a new one from Quicktime.

His pictures show a block saver plate.

Most all small block were a 130 tooth. Unless they were truck or a 9 inch clutch 273

It's a hemi.

Thank you all. I believe I just stumbled on it!

Thanks jbc426, I'm well aware of the problems and can measure and have the means to fix.

I can also confirm that the #1531 Lakewood can only be used with 130 tooth flywheel.
