different crank bolt pattern flex plate /flywheel

[curleytales]

does any 1 know if there is a fly wheel that will bolt up 2 an vn series 1 auto crankshaft as manual has 8 bolts on (fly) & auto has 6 bolts on (flex) i have heard that toyota lexan may have a 6 bolt flywheel or did holden have a flywheel that will bolt up to the auto crank shaft , im trying to get away from changing cranks over

vn s1 came out with 6-bolt fly wheel. the 8-bolt fly wheel you have is for vn s2 - vr.

none that go straight on.
you can buy and abaptor or replace the engine. engine replacement would cost about the same as a adaptor, then you have to get a 6 bolt flywheel on top of that.
cheaper to fit a later model motor.

he can get a VN S1 manual fly wheel as they are 6-blot. it will bolt straight on. doesnt need an adaptor plate or an engine swap.

i have a series 1 6 bolt flywheel floating around somewhere if interested....

centy right on this one. Manual series one cranks are different therefore you need to buy the sdaptor which only suits 6 bolt flywheels.
2nd option is to find a manual series 1 motor and swap it for yours should pick up one for half the cost of the adapter then you'll still need the 6 bolt flywheel.
3rd option is to keep your 8 bolt and swap the motor for a series 2 onwards then you wont need and adapter but will need to change the few other things like radiator and some minor wiring mods.

I'd go with option number 3 myself

marks adapters make a 6 bolt flywheel, it can be done

is that a 6 bolt to adapt to an auto crank or just a regular new 6 bolt flywheel?

CRS addaptor is about $336, goes onto your auto crank and then you can fit the manual flywheel.

i fixed your post for you it can get confusing when you generalise the flywheels

on the VN S1, i thought the fly wheel can be bolted straight onto the auto crank? seeing as that is 6-bolt too? maybe im on the wrong page here?

yep on the wrong track.
early vn has different crankshafts for manual and auto.
Both are 6 bolt but sit in different positions relative to the block.
so a straight bolt on is a no.
You can use an adaptor but it costs, you would also need a 6 bolt flywheel and the engine you have is way old buy now. you could pick up a vr engine and fit it for what the adaptor would cost you.
Then you can just fit the flywheel you have there and have a newer engine.
I paid $60 for a full vp engine up here at the dump. it goes real hard to.

Yes they are both 6 bolt but the Manual crank are further apart than the auto crack, so it will not bolt up, thats why you need an addaptor from CRS to convert it, or a flywheel made up but they are like $600 also from CRS.

A motor usually goes hard before it dies
