such thing as a 11"- 143T A body bellhousing?

[chrisnben]

Well- I'm kinda jones'n to use the $600 143T aluminum flywheel I acquired with my original H code 68 383 car. A bunch of stuff was already purchased and included in the sale: An 11" clutch & PP, the 143T fly.
BUT-
then I look in all the original parts bins and find the factory 10.5 130T flywheel and the factory 383 cast bell.
SO- will this 143T & bel even fit in the A-body & line up with the other Z-bar, or am I needing to sell this 11" brand new clutch & megabuck flywheel? :burnout:

So far as I know no A body ever used an 11" clutch. In fact, starting in '70, B bodies went to the "fake" 11" clutch. This was the sometimes called "scalloped" pressure plate, depending on what you read, called 11", 10.8, 10 7/8" etc and it used a special 11" PP with a 10 1/2" bolt pattern.

My 440-6 70 RR had one of these.

I was reading a post here from last Nov.- guy doing a hemi in a 68 with an aftermarket bell & wanted to use the 11" as well. Not sure if he ever got the deal done regarding z bar and ballstud lineup.
Then there's the 'ol header situation! I bought the Schu's knowing I'll have to modify to fit around the Z-bar anyway, but the bigger bell too (if it fits) could be double trouble.

This 143T flywheel has both 10.5 & 11" bolt holes for clutches- it's the 143T deal & bell that's the Question of the day.
