CHEVY 400 WITH T-5

What will I need to do for my fly wheel. Can I keep my fly wheel and just have it balanced or is there a place I can get one already made?

you'd need a flywheel for a 400 chevy. it won't care what kind of trans or clutch is mated to it.

No you don't. Keep the 153 tooth wheel you have AND us a 350 balancer. Have the rotating assembly balanced. By doing this you can reuse your starter. Just make sure the block has the correct starter holes. If it doesn't, have the machine shop add it. I forgot and had to drill and tap the hole with the motor in the car.
