This will still leave the problem of starter engagement and my bolts will have to be .5" longer so there might be some more stress here. Not sure if I this would be a problem.


Ok, this is a total hack, so take it FWIW...

You could make your spacer .5" less the thickness of a flexplate that'll bolt to your engine. Put the flexplate on, then the spacer and then the flywheel. Use the flexplate so you won't have to move the starter.

Flexplates are pretty light, but if anyone gives you crap, just tell them it's one of those custom flywheel weights for making it crawl at low rpm better. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
