[T3] Flywheel Question

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

Did you mention that it had a freeway flyer trans in it?
If so it might already have clearance for a 12v flywheel.
But I am just guessing.
It's been a long while since I have seen a 6V trans and I do remember them machining out the bell housing to fit 12V in them but the freeway flyer might have started out as a 12v trans.

I already found a 12v starter. Now if I can get some pointers on the clearancing, I'll be set.
