Using an automatic housing with a manual flywheel? Can it be done?

Yes, 318 Flywheel 130 tooth.

Flywheel bolts to the crank, starter bolts into the 904 empty housing.

Did the same thing with a fresh 383, bolted on a 130 tooth flywheel. Then bolted up a 727 transmission without the torque converter just to hold the starter during break in.

Had it blocked up, with a radiator, and started it up on the floor.

That way we were not running the transmission front pump and torque converter while first start breaking in the cam on a tight engine.
