What's the engine #? Stamped on the top left surface of the block, aft of the distributor. 110.9xx?
Flywheels look to be from 617 diesels. What do you know of the engine history?

That's good news on the gearing Stretch
The engine was from T walgamuth's car. He sent me some links to the well documented build. He was running the car with that flywheel, though I do not know what trans he he bolted to it. He says the engine has VERY low mileage on it since it was built. As for the cleanliness of the trans, I see no signs the parts were cleaned prior to storage as is evident by the area I cleaned off the get the numbers. Coupled with the fact it was the guy I used to work for who pulled it, he rarely cleaned parts that were going to be in storage.
