anybody know where I can get a T-56 flywheel for a 2 pice rear main seal engine?, and how much would it cost, money is a big issue for me, I'm enlisted and dont make much?

 

Try Centerforce Clutches.








HTH

 

Take the T-56 Fly wheel to a machine shop and have them perform the following:

*Zero balance the flywheel
*Bore out the inside diameter of the flywheel flange to fit over the 2 pc rear main seal crank centering flange
*drill new mounting bolt holes in the flywhell flange that correspond w/the 2 pc crank.

That's it. Should cost around $50-$70 bux.

 

woulden't drilling the extra holes weaken the flywheel? bigger cam, nitrous, and a supercharger are mods I plan on doing as I save the maney for them

 

Drill the new bolt holes staggered to the old ones -not directly outside the old ones.

I did what I said above to my own car. Even though I didn't have blower and nitrous, I did drag race it every friday night for two summers plus daily driving and never had a problem. The same flywheel now resides behind a 400 horse 350 in my friend '86 Camaro.

You asked for a cheap alternative to buying a new $300+ flywheel and I gave you one. Some times you have to take calclated risks when you want to "engineer" your own system. I did, and it worked out fine for me, so I shared it w/you. Take it or leave it I guess.

 

are you sure that using the one piece flywheel will actually work?...............the flywheel i got from center force is about 2 inches thick compared to the thin stockers....

 

here is the part # 700107....it actually cost $357 but shipping jacked it up to $413....its a nice piece and i needed it to do the damn swap or else i would have went cheaper

 

Did you even READ my post?? Here, I'll help you out;
So yes, the one piece flywheel WILL work -with about 60 bucks worth of machining.

So is the stock one piece, T-56 Flywheel. It's thick too, because is has a deep dish in the middle to accomodate the unique (reverse) clutch disk and pressure plate.
