What flywheel for my T5??
I'm swapping a T5 into my 85 IROC. I've got a 2 piece rear-main block.
I went to Advance Autoparts, and they don't sell flywheels.
I went to Big A Auto parts, and he doesn't have specific model listings, only generic listings. This is what he came up with:
Part number ZZ39
14.130 diameter
pitch 12-14
Internal w/o weights.
He made no mention of tooth count or anything else. Does this sound like the right flywheel? If not, where's a good place to get one? He quoted me about $120 for the flywheel. Any help would be appreciated.

I know you need a 153 tooth flywheel. I'm surprised they're not more common.

You need the flywheel your car would have come with if it had a T-5, basically. GM still sells one, Centerforce and all the other aftermarket people do too. It's 12¾" diameter, 153 teeth, 10.4" clutch, neutral balanced; you probably want one as light as possible. A 14" 168-tooth one will absolutely not work in a stock BH, so don't waste your time or money trying.
