What's better, Dayton Superior is only 20-30 miles from my house.
Wow. That is cool. Take them the clutch and run the idea by them. Let me know what they say.

It looks like you could cut out the center on a lathe, ream the inner bore of the sprag clutch to fit, attach and weld the splined section to the overrunning clutch, then weld the clutch (perfectly, with a jig and dial indicators) to the center.

But placing the sprag clutch at the engine instead of the rear hub changes the model of overrunning clutch you will need and keeps a lot of stuff spinning when you're coasting that shouldn't be. Definitely not the best approach imho.
