I just picked up a T56 from a 97 LT1....but it didnt include the flywheel. I have a 92 Camaro...305 TBI....which flywheel should I get and from where? I looked on autozones website....for a 97 Camaro...and they have a flywheel for about $50. Will this be ok or should I get a GM one or an aftermarket one? I dont want to spend too much. Im assuming I wont have to worry about getting it balanced or anything right? Also, do I need a special starter? I am going from an auto to the t56. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Don't forget the core charge at Autozone, it is $90 I believe, so a total of $140 if you don't have a flywheel to turn in.

Not sure about the other questions though.

 

A third-gen 305 starter fits inside the T56 bellhousing. A third-gen 350 starter does not (sometimes they get replaced and we put 350 starters in... I did that, and ran into that issue during my swap)

All 86-2002 Gen I and Gen II 305 and 350 engines are balanced the same and can use the same flywheel. An LT1 has a 153 tooth flywheel, just like your LB9, so you're good there w/ starters and such.
