ok i have a small block 400 and ever other part to put the t5 behind it and i came down to the starter. lucky me my block only has two holes drilled in it. so i am wondering what or if any starter will fit the 400 with a t5 besides the opion of drilling a hole and taping it any info would help thanks ------------------ 83 z28 400sbc 85 v6 88 v6

No other option exists.

The inner bolt hole location is such tht a bolt in it would have to go RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE of the starter drive. It is therefore not possible to use that bolt hole to hold on a starter that will work on a 12¾" flywheel.

On the 400 I ran in my 83 HO car for about 10 years, I drilled and tapped the extra hole.

Drill the hole with a 5/16th and tap it with a 3/8th.

Where did you find the externally balanced flywheel? I can't find a lightweight flywheel anywhere.

i used a early 12.75 350 flywheel with a pork chop weight. which i found at port city racing. for 15 bucks. they have a web site its portcityracing.com
but that is my plan i dont know how it works yet cause i still have to drill a hole for the starter. but when i do i will let u know

well i finally got the swap done and so far so good. the v6 tranny does have low gears but not too bad considering i have 3.23 rear gears. but let me get some miles on it then i will reply again.
