Postby buickapollo455 » Fri Feb 08, 2013 5:58 pm

Have a 79 skykawk roadhawk,

bad motor, rod is bad, want to put in a 350 buick what should have been in car first.

question, with a saginaw 4 in car now, want to keep it. putting in a 350 buick and 350 skylark 70-72, flywheel, and new either 10.5 or 11.00 clutch pack set

question is : what of room in bell, will flywheel fit bell?? of 213 4 saginaw ,?? or do i have to swap bells of a 350 buick manual, problem is cable pull tranny clutch.

question, : shaft told by tranny shop input shaft maybe too short for v6 car to put in a 350 flywheel and clutch and if need bop bell.???

question : both trannys v6 and v8 have same 10 spline input, same starter so starter ring would be same as 350-231 , length of input shaft if ???

question : can I easy format just put in the skylark 70-72 flywheel and new clutch pack and slide into v6 bell, and just go?? or what if,

help, want bad motor out, and have 350 all built. and fly wheel waiting.
I have multi buicks, 455 in most, including Apollo with 455, have custom electra stage 1, and now Roadhawk

What diameter flywheel do you have? The 231 bell assuming it fits the block only has room for a 10.5 flywheel Ive been told. Also the saginaw trans will not last if you bang gears.
