Flywheel question. help!
I’m putting a 350 crate motor in my 88 Camaro with over drive tranny. My question is the flywheel. The one from the 305 that came out is smaller in diameter, and will not fit the bolts on the 350 motor going in. The flywheel from the 350 (this motor was in my 74 pickup truck), is larger, and mounted to a 305 turbo tranny.
The 350 turbo tranny is 14.5” from bolt to bolt. The Overdrive tranny for the Camaro is 14.25 from bolt to bolt. The Flywheel from the 350 will bolt to the 88 tranny torque converter and has about .25” clearance from the bell housing bolt holes.
My question is; do I need another flywheel or will this one described above work? Even though it does bolt to the converter and fits inside the bell housing I have reservations about using it.
Has anyone ran into this issue before? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Since this is an auto trans, it's not a flywheel at all; it's just a flex plate.
Get the one for a 83-85 Camaro/Firebird 305 auto. Should be around $40 at a parts store.
