Anyone ever do a 7AC ? Crank,flywheel,pan?

[kamiphloj]

Hi,
Just searched and reviewed Skiwagon's great info on a 7AC build.Unfortunately,the thread was interrupted.
Has anyone followed up and done this?
I am curious about the possibilty the 3AC flywheel will do? or will the 7AFE flywheel have to be turned down to fit a 3AC ring gear?
The other issue I wonder about,I had to swap over the Terc pan and oil pickup when I did my 4AC swap.Because the 7A is a tall deck stroker 4A(I think?) might there be any issues with pan interference with the crank throws?

Those are two challenges that were not addressed before in the thread.
Thanks,Bob

I think you can actually use a 3AC flywheel. I believe the 7AFE crank is 6-bolt. I know the guys who make 7AGE's are always concerned about having only a 6-bolt crank, and wish they had 8-bolt. But this is just hear-say. I don't know about possible pan differences, but again, I think the guys who make 7AGEs use a 4AGE pan. So this would lead me to believe it might be possible to use a 3AC pan. Won't know for sure until you try! I'd really love to see this done though, as I've always wondered about it myself. Goodluck!
