Hey guys, Im putting a SBC 327 into my 72 Stepside and I have a Saginaw 3 speed on the back of the old I6 250.......My question is, will the flywheel and clutch that is currently installed on the 250 swap over to my 327? I plan on using the Saginaw 3 speed so im hoping it all just transfers over. THANKS!!!!

Bell housing, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate should all work. If the 327 doesn't have a pilot bushing in the crank you will have to install one.

Yup, what LockDoc said. Also, its always recommended to replace the throwout bearing while you have stuff apart.

Will the harmonic balancer transfer over too?

No, you need a small block balancer. You should make sure the timing tab matches the balancer. Just a side note the small block 400 is external balanced and it's balancer will not work on anything but a 400
