Flywheel question
I recently picked up a 67 k20 with a 4 speed and a Rockwell t case.
No motor in it so I found a flywheel from a 78 Chevy k20 Will this work for my 327 v8? I'm trying to get her rolling soon! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Flywheel question
It would work if it's not from a 400. Make sure there aren't any external weights on the flywheel, as that is the dead giveaway for a 400 crank.

Re: Flywheel question
There are no weights on the flywheel so I should be good to
Go! Thanks! How about the older small blocks without the weird counter weight on the back of the crank? Are those flywheels different? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Flywheel question
Weird counterweight? Do you mean the actual flange where the flywheel bolts on?
Yes, they are different shapes, but the bolt pattern is the same

Re: Flywheel question
no factory 400 manual trucks. I built one and as said before they are wieghted. If you are still around the motor you can look at the balancer. It has a groove cut in the edge to balance it. Regular small block on a 400 equals a rebuild from engine balance being off. I learned the hard way when I was a kid.

Re: Flywheel question

400 never came as a manual! Good to know when hunting thru the junkyard! Posted via Mobile Device
