Old Flywheel on 5.3 Quick question: Will the flywheel off a 77 350 work on a gen III 5.3? I am aware of the difference in backspacing that requires a different pilot bearing. But will the 350 ring gear match up with the 5.3 starter?
Thanks
Thanks
the later one peice seal flexplate will slid onto the the hub of the 5.3, but the bolt circle is different. they are close, i thought about drilling the holes out but decided to buy a new one correct for my 6.0L.

I guess just buying the right flywheel is out of the question...
