5.9 Magnum MPI swap flywheel idea
Here is the back of a 5.9 flywheel from the napa website. No press on ring, but now that I look at it again, it does look to be stepped like the v6 and 5.2 flywheel.
I would be curious to see how an early flywheel and a crank position sensor would look together on a magnum block. Maybe just some measurements, even just how far the sensor is from the back of the block. Shouldnt be hard to figure out if the sensor would interfere with an earlier 130T flywheel.
I guess you would have to measure the crank register and see how much overlap would be left after sandwiching the flexplate. I wouldn't worry about it if there is enough to center the flywheel before bolting it down. My only concern would be getting it centered, and if the crank register would do that, the bolts will hold it there, not a problem.
I see your concern about trimming the flexplate down, but I don't think it will move. Might look up the formula's and see what kind of force there would be there, just out of curiosity though. What's the od of the flexplate?
