can you use the 454 flywheel and clutch on a cummins using the 4 spd tranny?
Surely your not suggesting a Chevrolet flywheel (GM) might fit a Cummins B series? Are you referring to the Chevy trans adapter, flywheel and clutch assembly? The Cummins/Chevy flywheel does use what is commonly called a chevy 12" clutch (for a 454), at least mine did. It worked, no problems.can you use the 454 flywheel and clutch on a cummins using the 4 spd tranny?
Yeah when I got to the 5th post and the "minor detail" of this being a pulling truck came to light I thought the same thing. lolA pulling truck, that changes everything.
On a 4BT or 6BT? The 454s had torque numbers similar to or greater then what a 4BT will do (stock anyway). Maybe it's how that torque is delivered, the low RPM, and probably more "dynamic" nature of the torque output?I broke two clutch hubs on 454 clutches just hot rodding on the street. They won't put up with the torque without serious mods. Next thing that will break is the 1 1/8 input shaft....
