86+ Chevrolet 350ci v8 flywheel. K1500 trucks are a good place ot start looking. NAPA, advance, GM, junkyards, etc. have them cheap. Needs to be the flywheel for "The SBC with a one-piece rear main seal" because apparently people don't understand numbers.
The SBC pattern is 6x3", OM617 is 12x103mm.
Edit: Just placed an order for the intermediate plate (same dims as on the DXF in the engine sticky). In 2-3 weeks I'll get to see how sharp my measuring skills are

-Need to install it on the engine, then check runout vs the chebby bell
-Fit drilled flywheel, and test fit mercedes starter vs chebby 14" clutch. Cut out mounting hole, add to DXF drawing
-Buy a 12" chebby clutch (90s camaro?) and test fit vs the starter again. I'd like the plate to be able to use either.
-Source pressure plate, pilot bearing, shift fork, throwout bearing, etc. and test fit.
-???
-Profit!
FYI-the bolts that hold the trans plate into the block are M10x1.5 This also goes for the 603

SBC pins are 5/8" NOT 1/2"(ford is 1/2")
Mercedes locating pins are 12MM
Mercedes block are M10x1.5 NOT M12
I got lucky when reaming the holes, the drill press table vibrates just enough to make the plate skitter aroud and self-center.
Hopefully picking up a bell housing on Monday, 5/8 reamer due in Tuesday, then slap bang time.
