dodge55 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Follow-up question the the one I posted earlier: The 1937 Plymouth engine I am putting into my 37 Dodge has a 9-1/4" clutch. The Dodge engine I am taking out has a 10" clutch. Do I use the 9-1/4", or put the Dodge flywheel on the Plymouth engine and use a 10" clutch? The flywheels measure the same, but obviously the clutch bolt holes are different. I am using the Plymouth engine w / the Dodge trans, but need to order a clutch package. Also, why the different sizes? Thanks.Steve V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I would assume the Dodge was a slightly heavier car, with a little more powerful engine. This would account for it needing a larger clutch.Either one would work. The larger clutch would last longer before it wore out, if that is a concern. If you have a choice put in the 10" clutch and don't worry about it. If this is impractical, the smaller clutch will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge55 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks for the info. I will take the flywheel off of the Dodge and put it on the Plymouth engine and order a 10" clutch package (I need to buy a clutch anyway). That way if I ever find a Dodge engine, the clutch will be done. Any place better than another for clutches?Steve V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
