Alright, this ones for the truck guys. Im installing a 408 in my truck this early spring and am about to begin build but need a flywheel before the shop can balance the internals for me. Will a 5.3l flywheel work or do I need a 6.0 flywheel? I was told to go with a 5.3L unless im going with a 4l80E, which im not. I will be running a 4l60E.

Thanks guys,
Lurius

 

Just FYI, you should move this to the transmission section. Some guys will proly razz on you if you don't. Just a heads up.

 

Ah, sorry. Good point. How do I move it? Or must I ask a moderator to do it?

The mods will take care of ya when they see it. Proceed!

 

Figured it'd go down like that. Lets see how long my thread will stand!

Anyways, I did a little more research on gmpartsdirect, and it looks like the old part# for the flywheel has been replaced with a newer model which covers the 01-06 model truck transmissions, with all motors.. So I think I found what I need.. 86$ on GM parts direct, or 140$ at a stealership. Considering, at that price, an aftermarket lightened flywheel.. Being a 5000lb truck I could use the faster reving im sure!
