Here is the re drilled holden flexplate sitting on the hemi crank. notice centre torque convertor locating bush.
Because the hole in the holden flexplate was larger then the hemi one the locating bush was too small..
I didn't want all the load placed on the flywheel bolts ( ARP ford v8 prefect length for my conversion )
So i had to fix it
I piece of old 2 1/2 inch exhaust along with another piece of slightly smaller exhaust fitted perfectly
amazing fluke. So i slided the 2 bits of exhaust inside eachother then over the bush ( normal bush on left ) i had a spare incase i stuffed one up. I then
migged them together and cleaned them up.
I forgot to take a pic of the setup on the motor but you get my drift..
The next hurdle ( that i had already antisipated ) was the holden flexplate was larger in diameter then the chryslers one.
I replaced the pinion gear with one from a XE falcon as the pitch was the same as the holden one.
I then modified the starter and grinded the adapter plate a little to that the starter could be located out a little to make up for the larger flexplate
diameter. I used one stock bolt location and pivited the starter out then drilled and tapped a new hole in the CRS adapter plate ( the way is should be
)
I did a dry run and checked with old motor to make sure the starter meshed ok it was perfect.I also checked runout of flexplate it was as good as the
manual flywheel. so my redrilled flexplate holes were perfect. ( i spent alot of time on this )
The crossmember at the back of the gearbox had to be modified ( this doesnt come with CRS kit )
Here is smoe pics it was easy..
all together.
