Will flywheel work?

Pulled my huffed 305 getting ready to install new 355 and noticed quite a size difference in the flywheel. Will the older 350 wheel work or not?

I have a 76 350 out in the garage that I pulled the flywheel off of and was going to use it on the new motor cause it's an older block. Then I held the flywheel up to the bellhousing and it looks really close. I was gonna try it but figured I'd check first. Thanks. By the way how does your Harwood hood match up to the body lines of your car. I just struck up a deal tonight to get my car painted and want to get a 2" cowl put on before that begins (not until August cause he's booked) I've talked to alot of people and got alot of answers about their hoods lining up right so figured I'd get another opinion. Thanks again

I'm up here in Waterloo. With that bolt on style is there anyway to feather that in so it looks original? I've seen some S-10's and other pick-ups with that bolt on cowl and wondered if that's the way it had to stay or if a person could bondo it to blend. The guy that's gonna put my cage in eventually said that he could make me one all I'd have to do is bring him another hood to play with in his free time. Only draw back though would be the weight, that's kinda why I'm lookin to fiberglass. I'm not building a 1/4 mi. screamer but I'd like to have a sharp lookin realiable street terror that's consistant on the weekends. My whole motor deal kinda sucks cause I was planning on doing the rest of the car first so I could race, but now I'm gonna miss the first points race cause I'm still waiting on parts, plus I tore the dash to peices and fabbed up the new gauge cluster which was'nt supposed to happen for another month so I my wifes all pissed cause I've sunk a bunch of my into the car in such a short time, but you know how that goes. Hopefully we'll have it all put together and broke in for the second race which is the first week of June. How do you posts pictures on here. Not that mines gonna be anything special but I always look at other peoples stuff for my own ideas.
P.S. I'm not real computer literate so if it's too complicated I'll have to find someone else to do it for me.

Pull the flywheel off the 305 and put in on the 350. Simple as that.

Body putty will work wonders.....I am swapping heads and cam soon, and I thought the 3-$500 could be better spent there. Kind of a quick fix. But I actually like the look...took me about 3hrs to put on.....I know about wives and the money thing, mine complains all the time...but she also drives the Camaro every chance she gets..


Check the F.A.Q. tab above...it will answere alot of ? on posting.
Hey have a great day and keep us posted on your progress.
