Re: For a free motor - suggestions?
If price is important, you might want to check Craigslist and eBay. You are looking for an externally balanced flywheel for a 383 built with a 2-piece main seal block.
The 86-up 350 blocks are all externally balanced, but the flywheel will not bolt up to a pre-86 crank. Regarding your trans, if these are the ratios... First Gear - 6.55:1 Second Gear - 3.58:1 Third Gear - 1.70:1 Fourth Gear - 1.00:1 ...then even in second gear, a stock 400 will probably push your house! And the trans can handle lots of torque.
