Need a measurement, Help, Flywheel depth?? Options

[Thorshammer]

I need to know what the exact measurement (vernier caliper) from the starter mounting surface to the ring gear. I have a different trans and want to make sure my depth is correct.


Thanks,

The transmission is not mated to the engine right now. I took two measurements and calculated what you are looking for. I am pretty sure I am within 1/32 +/-.

The distance between the starter mounting surface to the flywheel ring gear is 1 3/8"(actually 1 47/128" but I figured rounding to the nearest 1/128 would be ok). My calculations were:
Distance from trans starter mounting surface to trans/engine mating surface = 3 1/32"
Distance from trans/engine mating surface to outside edge of flywheel = 1 21/32"

3 1/32" - 1 21/32" = 1 12/32"

FYI other measurements:

The distance from the mounting face on the starter to the outside edge of the starter gear face is 1 5/16". There is a 2/16 'cap' on the end of the starter gear which must extend 1/16 over the ring gear. The starter gear sits 1/16 away from the ring gear when retracted. I can draw a diagram if you want to see how all of this lines up.
