It can be done and several have on here, you need a balancing plate for that flywheel tho. also the bigger issue is the T5 trans maynot hold up to that much torque and power, they were rather weak which is why most are running an auto or swapped to a T56. please use our
system here you will be quite surprised at what you find.

i know the search but my question is that has any one used that plate with the 350 fly wheel.
i plan to go to the t56 but i am trying to get it on the road right now.
