factory smallblock bellhousing info

[benno318]

hi folks, i am located in australia, so some info is a little thin on the ground here which you guys probably take for granted. my question relates to a smallblock alloy bellhousing for an a-833, factory part # 3515 734, other no. below that is 09104-1. also on it is 73, then twelve squares which i guess read the month in 1973 that it was cast.
does anyone know what type of flywheel i will need for this, it will be fitted to a poly 318, and as yet i still need to purchase the flywheel, so have none to even mock it up with. i have seen flywheels advertised with 130 teeth and 143 teeth. i also assume one is approx 10.5" and one is 11" am i correct? can anyone enlighten me as to which was factory fitment on this bellhousing? i will be buying an alloy flywheel as this car will be used for circuit (road) racing. please help!! thanks in advance, ben simpson

I believe the 143 flywheel is used only on 11 inch non scalloped clutches, the 10.5 and 11 inch (10.95) use the 130 tooth.

3515 734 was used on '72-'73 318 and 340 with a 130 tooth flywheel.

thanks for the info guys, it is very much appreciated. so it sounds like i will need to purchase a ram alloy flywheel with 130 teeth, then we will be set? about the 143 tooth, im curious - was that for trucks or big blocks only? doesnt matter to me now as ive been told my bellhousing is for 130t. anyway its good to know that theres helpful people out there to give their advice. thanks again from ben simpson.
