My 215 rebuild is still coming along and I hope to make some of the body 
modifications this weekend.  Heres my next question.  I can't seem to 
identify the flywheel off my Olds F-85 block (It doesn't compare to anything 
in my Buick shop manual).  I'm guessing its from an automatic transmission 
model.  I'll try to describe it as best as I can.  
>From Outside to Inside
Total Diameter = 13.25"
Outside Ring = 1.25" wide with 24 holes
Step Down = 3/8" deep
Middle Ring = 7/8" wide with 6 holes and two locating pins
Step Down = 1/2" deep on 45 degree angle
Center flat section = 7.5" diameter
Even with my very limited (but rapidly expanding) car knowledge I cannot 
imagine how I would hook a clutch up to this.  Do I need to add a custom 
lightened flywheel available through the V8 suppliers to my ever growing list 
of things to purchase?
Thanks again for the help,
Glenn
Ps.  If anyone has a RB steering U Joint assembly laying around that they 
wouldn't mind contributing to my conversion, I'd like to purchase it.  I'd of 
course pay a little for it, and cover all shipping.
