Flywheel/Starter Problems

I am swapping from a 250 3 speed to a 350 and a t5 into my truck. I have tried the 168 tooth flywheel and i will not fit into the bellhousing and i have tried a 153 tooth flywheel and the starter is too far away to engage. Any ideas?

I forgot to mention that originally it had a 10" clutch

Re: Flywheel/Starter Problems

I had the same problem with a Vortec 350 I installed. Found out it had the smaller flywheel installed after installing a 350 turbo tranny. Rather than pulling it all out I used a starter from a corvette. The nose on the new starter engaged the flywheel with no problems. Although not obvious there are differences in the noses as far as reach. Do some research for one designed for your current flywheel.
