Get ahold of Matt at SDPC. Great price, great service. You need at a minimum and LS2 flywheel and LS7 clutch. You should replace your slave while you are in there as well. Consider new flywheel bolts and PP bolts as well. They are cheap. Replace your pilot bearing. That is the suckiest part to do... DO NOT use the grease behind the bearing method of getting it out unless you really did want to rebuild your engine anyway. There is a freeze plug in the crank.

SDPC or byunspeed. Byunspeed had free shipping, but I think they might actually drop ship from SDPC for LS7 clutches.

You have to use a LS2 to make the LS7 clutch compatible with your car. Lightweight Aluminum Flywheels can warp, and are not worth the gain IMO for the price. Just stick with a nice GM LS2 Flywheel.

Because ebay doesn't pay for this site to exist, we do. It's not to much to ask that members buy through us since we pay for you to have the knowledge source known as LS1tech at your fingertips is it? Sure, sometimes you can save money by buying everything on ebay, but generally you get no customer service, no guarantees, and DEFINITELY no knowledge base with someone right on the other end of the phone or pm to help you out.

well put, we all benefit from this site and you guys pay for it, a couple dollars here and there is not worth the customer service I've always had from this boards sponsors.
