What is the implication of using a 168T flywheel? Will it work with the T5 bellhousing as long has I have the matching starter? If it fits, anyone know what vehicle to tell the parts clerk when I go to buy a clutch and pressure plate?

W.C. T5, small block with 2 piece rear seal.

I bought a complete T5 setup from a 1988 Firebird, but my motor has a 2 piece real seal... hence I need to find a flywheel. I have a line on a flywheel, but it might be 168T. Hence my Q, if anybody is wondering why...

Thanks,

No they wont fit inside the bellhousing, you need a 12 3/4" 153 tooth wheel.

 

thank you

 

Right, won't work.

You need the flywheel for a 83-85 Camaro/Firebird 305. It will be 12.8" 153 tooth.

There are 2: one for the low-performance LG4, and the lightweight one for the L69. I don't recall the TPI 305 being available with a 5-speed in 85.
