Dave and Group,
After further examination the flywheel in previous post and the stock flexplate both have 125 ring gear
teeth and after turning the clutch plate friction area flat with the clutch plate mounting area it appears that
Tracy's drive plate could be bolted to the flywheel...........More examination will be necessary to prove all this
out.................I have one of these on order and will let all know if my theory is correct !!...........If not I will make
some racer a deal on this flywheel.............For all's info this flywheel is available on special for $245.45 with
shipping from the source in previous post...............FWIW

Dave and All,
Source for Forged steel flywheel 13.8 lbs.............I have no measurement at hand to
tell if it can be adapted to Tracy's redrive...........It has 125 teeth for starter (do not know
what teeth # and diameter are of stock flexplate are)..............There is a 9.8 lb version
available with 116 teeth...........Am not sure what starters would fit............
