On top of the other problems, "duster george", was this an automatic or stick originally? My old gas 5.9 2500 HAD NO PILOT DRILLING with an automatic. You would have to either have the crank machined for a pilot, or hand drill a clearance hole for the pilot shaft, then use the large diameter pilot bearing/ fits in the pilot hole.
There has GOT to be a way to trigger that thing, even if you have to build your own trigger wheel, either at the front or rear of engine.
So far as balance, don't know. Surely the aftermarket makes 5.9 flywheels for pass. car bells. (130? tooth)
