Does this Flywheel picture give any reasons for concern? Options

[Scott S]

Hi All –
I am in the final throws of my conversion. At this point the tub is done and everything is bolt on. The only part that is not easily accessible/changeable without big headaches is the flywheel/clutch, so I want to make sure I don’t bugger this up. Attached is a picture of a flywheel that I located on another web board. I was told it is original, worked fine, and was only removed because of a motor upgrade. The last clutch I personally replaced was in my 1985 GTI, so my knowledge is limited to say the least (the VERY least!!). Can any of you tell by this picture if this looks okay? I would have it machined prior to install, is there a minimum thickness I should ask the seller to verify?

Thanks a ton –
Scott S

That is nothing but the flywheel off a '70 & up 911. It is missing the bolt on ring gear and bolts.

They were all flat except for the early 901 flywheel, which if you are using a 901 box is the ideal.

To use this one ... Kennedy makes the kit/

otherwise

You need the '70 - '71 only 911/01 tranny that uses the "pull clutch" assembly ... besides having to buy the ring gear, you would have to by the two year only clutch package that lists out at $800 (special cover plate, special 225 mm friction disk with early 901 hub and special throwout bearing.

If your conversion is 2.7L or below (6 bolt flywheel), then get the early 901 flywheel and use the stock 2.0L 4 cyl clutch assembly with your 914 transmission.
