    Yes, unless you are talking about one for a cast iron power glide.

    Just be sure to compare the balance weight on the crankshaft flange. The flywheel "may" need to be machined to clearance for the end weight. Even B & M used to make this stipulation regarding their old Hydro-Stick transmissions. Also be aware, depending on the diameter of the flywheel/flexplate, there may be a starter motor change in the works. I'd like to have a "W" motor!!!! I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

  5. Straight shift flywheel or automatic flexplate? I used an automatic flexplate from a 350 on mine. Works fine.
     
  6. If its a netural Balance flywheel and it will bolt on and the starter still work the answer is yes.

    I also used a "standard", small Chevy flex plate on a 409 that I built.
    As noted, it was part of the pile of stuff, when the assembly was balanced (as it should be with any engine combination).

  10. BA, I put a 200 4R in my pickup behind my 348 and I used a 350 flexplate. The 348 isn't externally balanced like the 454 so you can use the standard flexplate/flywheel.
    Thats one thing I have come to like about working on Chevys, the interchangeability of parts, quite different with Fords.
