168 tooth flywheel work w/ T5 and Tremec?
168 tooth flywheel work w/ T5 and Tremec?
I have a 454 and I need a flywheel...
the only ones ive seen sold are 168 teeth...
i have a 305 that came w/ the T5 but I figured its probaly different and might as well get SFI appoved
So I guess my question is...will the 168 tooth work w/ the T5?
Also will I need a new starter?

No, the 168 tooth flywheel wont fit. Not to mention, the 454 will KILL the T5 pretty quickly.

You HAVE to use a 153 tooth (12-3/4") wheel. The T-5 bellhousing will not fit around a 168 (14")wheel.
The 454 is also externally balanced. You would need to get the flywheel rebalanced for it. Then enjoy it while you can, that 454 will grenade your T-5 in short order.
