5.9 Magnum MPI swap flywheel idea
The 5.2 flywheel appears just like the V6 one pictured except the tone ring has single cutouts evenly spaced around it.
The concern I had about cutting the edge off the flexplate would be the tendency for the edge to flare out as it spun. I am assuming that edge keeps it from expanding.
The other concern I had about using the flexplate behind the flywheel is that the centering register won't fit very far into the flywheel anymore and I wouldn't want to rely on the bolts to keep it centered. Of course if it would work not only I could stop waiting for the billet flywheel to be machined, but I could use the aluminum one in the picture.
For my truck I want to use the SFI approved bellhousing with the T56 or else I'd hunt down one of those truck bellhousings I mentioned above. If you can find one that would probably be the easiest thing for you.
