Re: flywheel
You'll need a flexplate to replace your flywheel. Sorry don't know the size offhand, someone will chime in I'm sure...

Re: flywheel
Not a flywheel. With an auto tranny you need a flexplate: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch

Re: flywheel
count the number of teeth on your flywheel and that will be the number of teeth you'll need for your flexplate.

Re: flywheel
Since the stick has a bell housing where the starter bolts up with three bolts to the bell housing, a different starter will be needed. On the automatics the starter bolts to the block using two bolts. You will want the starter to match the flex plate.

Re: flywheel
What do you mean NOT? He's exactly right. The starters are different between a 3 speed manual and TH350.
You will need a 168 tooth 14" flexplate and matching starter. Just get the parts store to look up a stater for your model truck with a TH350 and you'll be good to go.

Re: flywheel
Forgot about the starter being a stick. Yes an auto starter will be needed. Either way, just match the starter bendix head for either a 168 tooth one or the 153 tooth one.

Re: flywheel
yes this http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=267&PTSet=A is listed as a flywheel but looks the same as a flexplate http://store.summitracing.com/partde...I&autoview=sku I think the aps jus has them listed the same, cause its listed for auto tranny.
