Default Difference between ls7 and ls2 flywheels?

I found a really good deal on a ls7 clutch kit including the ls7 flywheel. Can somebody tell me the difference between the ls2 and ls7 flywheels? Will the ls7 work with a fbody? Thanks.

I was goin to go that route and what I read was the LS7 flywheel wont bolt up to an LS1 engine correctly, you have to use the LS2 flywheel which will bolt up to an LS1 and it also will fit the LS7 clutch

Check Sgoggins for the whole kit at about $399. They are the only ones that seemed to have a clue.

Ordered it from Sgoggins (sponsor, SDPC --->) $526 shipped... I saw this thread and asked him the differences between the two. His response:

'Looking at the two, they are the same part number, and the exact same flywheel."

Where did the notion that the LS7 flywheel won't bolt up properly to the LS1 come from? Did someone have an issue with it?
