I am in the process of building a run stand for a 73 Dart with Automatic transmission.318 engine.
I don’t want to attach my automatic transmission to it yet.
I do have an old gutted out automatic 904 transmission casing that fits.
Does anyone know of a flywheel that will match up to the starter and this case?
In this way I can just find an old flywheel to use to start the engine.

Thanks.

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.
