I have a l98 motor and may put it in a 89rs with a t5. Right flywheel and clutch stuff. I believe the block was cast in 88. Valve covers are center type. Also I can get a 95 truck 350tbi complete for 200. Sons dady in law! He needs money and will pull it. Has a manual truck flywheel on it. Dose it got a be change to fit my t5

 

Isn't this the tranny forum? Nobody ever put a 350 into a 5 speed car b4?

 

the truck flywheel is likely the larger one which won't fit into the T5 without catastrophic metal removal

 

L98 heads will flow better than TBI heads.

The 153 tooth flywheel will fit in the T5 bellhousing. The 168 tooth flywheel will not.

 

Truck stuff won't fit.

Use the one off the 89 TBI motor.

 

There was no motor in the 89 rs. It was a roller with its t5 tranny.no flywheel and no clutch or pressure plate. Inspection cover missing to.so I need one if you got an extra. What I'm not sure of is the truck motor able to have a smaller manual flywheel put on it and the motor run right? You know still stay balanced!

 

89 fbody flywheel will fit 95 truck motor

 

Balance will not be a problem.

Just get the flywheel and clutch for the 89 car.

You'll find there are 2 flywheels available; one will be around 16 lbs (for TPI cars), one will be around 22 for TBI. You'll probably like the 16 lb one better.

 

Thank guys.
