I have a friend looking for a 130 tooth flywheel for a cast crank 440 most all the ones on the market seem to be for internal balanced anyone know of a good source.

What about used did Chrysler make them back in the day?

Also does anyone know if the cast cranks are drilled for a 4 speed?

thanks

the old Engine manuals & I would assume the new ones to have a template ofr drilling holes in a neutral balance flywheel for a cast crank
most cast cranks are not drilled for 4 spd use so you woul dhave to drill the hole to clear the input shaft & use the Dakota roller brg for the pilot

Thanks CP what are the hazards for cutting the shaft nub(input shaft) off the transmission inorder for it to fit?

Brewer's will make them

personallt I would rather bore the hole than trim the front 3/8" off the tranny , if you do you will need to taper the front of the shaft again , I am not sure how well it would work in any other car after that either

Did you ever get the template to drill the holes? I have it because I was given a free 440 -cast motor and All I run are 4 speeds. Another way a speed shop told me that they could make one was: Order an off balance B&M flex plate from Summit for a cast 440 . He can put it on his balancer and record the off-balance, then make my flywheel match off balance. Return the Flexplate to Summit for a refund.

It would be easier to drill the 3 holes following the template. You can do it yourself with a drill press.

he is still looking so I bet if we could Barrow or copy your template that would be great.

Thanks

I posted the pics here a while back. I'll look for them. They are in every Mopar Engine manual that I have. If I can rescan them if they are gone or you don't have the engine manual.

Pics are gone. I'll rescan them unless someone beats me to it.

Sorry no manual please scan Photo bucket would be great

Remember, if you use 6pack rods and you don't have the special 6-pack balancer or flywheel, you'll have to have it internally balanced like I did. Mine vibrated so badly when I jumped on it that it cracked my 727 tailshaft in half. A Cast crank 440 also uses a special balancer and flywheel

Here you go:

not sure if it matters or not, but the flywheel that i got from 440 source had a weight on it that they said was for another motor. not sure what one it was but i still have the weight and bolts for it...

ShelbyDogg · « **Reply #12 on:** August 25, 2009 - 11:38:45 PM »

That is a McCleod Flywheel that has the bolt on weights for the different engines. those weights can only be used on their Flywheel that has the A-B and C weight positions.

If you friend wants to buy one and not modify a stock one by drilling holes, here is the link to McCleod. I always find swap meet flywheels or get them from friends. A friend just bought a brand new 130 tooth flywheel from Caterpiller. He said it was less that 1/2 the price of one from Summit. You might try them too.
