GAZRNR Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I have been searching the message board for the part number for the centerforce flywheel to be used with a T56 on an early (pre 85) sbc? The engine I will be using is the GM crate motor 350 HO. It looks like there are a couple of possibilities on the centerforce home page??? Also, are there any places where you can purchase the part for less than $300? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ240z Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Try PAW for the flywheel. I found they were the cheapest for the McLeod. The part #'s I listed in the drivetrain forum were for external balance flywheels. The standard SBC should be slightly cheaper. The PAW sales rep was very helpful. I don't have their number handy but it is in every car book out there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 You can't use a standard flywheel, it has to be a Centerforce one, the part # I used is 700107, 153 tooth, I got mine from Fifth Gear Performance, 2280 Cheshire Bridge rd 404-982-9959. They were a centerforce dealer, not sure if they still are. I got mine for $260 about 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I'm not sure that it has to be a particular brand... It just has to be designed for the pull-off clutch. So you cannot use a regular SBC style flywheel. But surely somebody other than GM and Centerforce makes the flywheel for the pull-off setup, somebody other than Centerforce probably makes the pull-off compatible flywheel for the two piece rear seal. RAM and McLeod would be good places to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZRNR Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 Thanks for the input an the help with the part #. After getting your input I spoke with tech support at Centerforce to verify the PN 700107. It is the correct flywheel for my application and their price was $445...OUCH! PAW doesn't carry the part. JEGS wants $383.99 and Summit wants $345.99. Is this thing gold plated or what. Anyway placing my order and sorucing the parts for my conversion this winter. Thanks again to all!
