I have an 89 T5 Clutch/flywheel assembly. I also have an 80-85 truck 350. The engine is a two-peice rear main seal block. I am aware that the flywheel will not bolt up but I am wondering if the clutch that I already have will bolt up to the older style flywheel? Also, is there anyway for me to keep my starter off of my 91?

Get an '83-'85 f-body V8 flywheel, and your clutch and starter will work fine with it.

Thanks five7, does it matter if it is 168 or 153 tooth count on the flywheel?

The engine isn't infront of me right now but in my searching I have begun to wonder if the straight line/offset bolt patterns on the starters will cause a problem?

One more question, I am using modified L98 heads, I shouldn' have an issue with getting my 91 serpantine system to bolt up, should I?

An '83-'85 f-body V8 flywheel will be 153 tooth. And, it makes a difference, as a 168-tooth flywheel won't fit in a T5 bellhousing.

Shouldn't be a problem with the starter mounting to the block.

Shouldn't be a problem with the serpentine set-up bolting to the L98 heads as long as the modifications didn't involve the bolt holes on the end of the head.
