I'm looking for a flywheel for a 1 pc rear seal V8 engine. I'll need one to use with my new engine when I do all the machine work balance it.

If you find me a running 350 shortblock for a SONG, I'll let you have a GMPP Nodular flywheel for a song. Wink

Well............the only 350 engine I know of is the one I'm using for my car. I will keep my eyes out for one though.

If I can't find one...........how much for the flywheel, or will this do for a "song" Drinkin and singin

How much do they go for used? I think I've still got one laying around.

Don't know really, I always start my parts search here first. I'm a month or two off from completing my new motor, so i'm in the planning and parts gathering stage at this point.

Let me know what you think it's worth. I'm also waiting to see what Dewey wants for the one he has.

LOL, the one I have is in my car. I need a 2 peice 350, to free that one up. Wink

Why you gonna go with an older style block???

I myself love the roller cam setup in the newer blocks.

I know I have one on my car, I need another one to surface it and use it when I balance the rotating assembly before I build the new motor. The flywheel is balanced along with the crank and balancer. I want to have the new engine totally ready to drop in so I can do the swap in a couple of days.

Hmmm.............327 factory roller huh.........must have been a special "COPO" order I'd think Wink

(COPO=Central Office Production Order)

So what happens if you ever have to replace the flywheel? Is it actually used to balance the rotating assembly?

why wouldn't you balance the rotating assembly without the flywheel, then zero balance the flywheel, so that if you have to replace it, you just have the new flywheel zero balanced, and you are set.

And I would love a roller 350, but early 350's are a dime a dozen. I am just looking for a motor to last me until I get the 327 project going. I have a sneaking feeling that the 305 in my car is on its last legs, it is starting to burn a descent ammount of oil now.

I've only used AC's balancing machine once on my big block, so I'm not sure what all I can actually do with it.

My engine is geting tired also.........tired of the big smoke screen at startup.

Why a 327? Remember, there's NO substitute for cubic inches Wink

You should balance the flywheel/pressure plate together. It's a neutral balance and the two pieces become indexed.
