" The late model flywheel will bolt up to an early engine, but it's
" a bit larger in diameter. It might not fit under the early bell,
" and if it does you'll have to shim the starter out to mesh with
" the ring gear. I doubt there's enough room to move the starter.
" Since the starter bolts to the bell you'd have to slot one of the
" starter bolt holes in the starter housing, and I doubt the bolt
" hole "ears" are wide enough to move the starter out and still
" hold it on, provided there's enough room in the starter hump of
" the bell.

with 11 more 10-pitch teeth, it's more than a bit larger, about 1"
bigger +/-.  i don't think it would fit in the early bell, or that
the starter could possibly be made to engage it.

and what would be the point?  the early flywheel is already drilled
for 10.5" clutches, but a 10.5" pp [b&b anyway; haven't tried a
diaphragm] won't fit.  and even a 10" is on the hairy edge for
available throw.
