148t flywheel Is there such thing as a 148t flywheel that can bolt up to an LS engine? Or would it need to be custom made? I am looking at making an adapter plate and this is all the space i am allowed with the stock bellhousing for the UN1 transaxle.

The 3.1L 3rd generation Camaros used a 148 tooth ring gear, but those flywheels do not have the right crankshaft bolt pattern.
I once turned down a billet LS1 flywheel (168 tooth ring gear) to accept a GM 142 tooth ring gear, so doing the same for the 148 tooth one shouldn't be too much of an issue. I would however start with a billet steel flywheel vs. the cast iron one.

Just looking at the price of a billet flywheel its looking quite cost prohibitive. Im seeing 300 for the flywheel, then another 100 for the ring gear, then the machining! Even at 50/hr it still would add up. Might as well just get a flywheel made from scratch, which comes full circle back to Nick's swap.

Hey scott! I sumbled across your build thread as well! Very cool stuff.
I decided to just make my own. it will be a 150t flywheel that I have drawn up in cad. my machinist figures he can do it for a reasonable price so we will see.
Thanks for the offer!
