I know this is probably a longshot, but I've got a Fidanza Al flywheel (bought the engine with the car). I want to put the engine in an automatic car, but I *think* the engine is externally balanced.

Here are pictures of the flywheel if anyone can tell me for sure:



Anyway, assuming we are dealing with an externally balanced engine, is there anyone that can:
a) tell me if my flywheel looks balanced for a stock LT1? So I would be able to put a stock flexplate on?

b) what options might I have here, short of having the bottom end rebalanced?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

A machine shop should be able to take the flywheel and then match whatever flexplate you bring them to it. Then you can just send me the flywheel for just the cost of shipping.

 

Well, that would certainly be easy! I guess I'll do some calling around tomorrow. Thanks.

 

If they can balance one, they should be able to balance another. They had to do it for mine because the guy was told I needed a flexplate when I really needed a flywheel.
