namz7791 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I bought a complete T5 including flywheel, bellhousing, hydraulic clutch setup, shifter etc out of a V8 1991 camaro. I am finding it very hard to locate an inexpensive 1 piece rear main engine to install in my area and am considering a 2 piece rear main engine. With the 91 Camaro set up the only thing I need to change is the flywheel over to a 2 piece rear main type with associated clutch Could one of you engine experts confirm this. I dont want to buy the engine and then find out that the camaro bellhousing needs to be off of an earlier 3rd gen when they made 2 piece rear main blocks. Thanks for your help. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 That is what i did except I used a Hays scatter-shield bell housing. I used an old style 153 tooth flywheel with a clutch for a V8 ss nova and a gm T5 trans. I also had good results using the RAM 6 puck meltallic disc (10-1/2 x 1-5/32, 26 spline, 6000 series) and a pressure plate slightly strong than stock. If you drive hard then organic clutches don't last long with the small flywheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
