The flywheel you are talking about what is the part number to it. If there is any other combinations for a flywheel that will work with a th350 what are they. Thanks

It's TCI part number 399753. It works great on an application that has a traditional small bolt pattern converter.

do yo have to run a oil coiler on these motors or not. If not what do you do to plug them off. Also the line on the water bypass on the front of the block. Do you cap it off or what do you do. Thanks
