Need a flywheel
I'm in the process of swapping in a 4 speed M20 into a 70 Cutlass Supreme with 350 motor and automatic.
I've been gathering the list of swapping-goodies and finding it a challenge on finding the flywheel, as I'm preferring to find an OEM good used flywheel.
Is the flywheel the same one used on 350 & 400 & 455 ??
Does anybody know a source or where I could find one used ??
Trying to avoid one made with Chinesium
As far as swap meet searching ..... I need some helpful advice to make sure I'm getting one for Olds.
166 teeth correct ?? What other markings, etc. ??
Thank you in advance for experienced advice and details !

Hi Dave
Welcome to the site! There's two type of flywheels, one for the 1964-67 330,400,425 and then 1968 and newer 350,400,403,455. They have different bolt patterns where they bolt up to the crankshaft. I've got an extra in Oregon but due to shipping costs I think you could save money buying one closer. If you create a parts wanted thread you shouldn't have a problem finding one for around $100-125 plus shipping.
More importantly though, most crank shafts were not drilled for the pilot bearing/bushing. You will probably have to have the crank drilled or cut on a lathe. Try doing a search and you should find several threads discussing this. John

My leads closer to home haven't materialized . The few close calls have resulted in guys who don't want to part with them.
If you want to discuss selling the extra one you have PM me and discuss your price and an estimate for shipping to ZIP 30096
Yours might be my best option despite the shipping cost. I'm interested.
Thanks for setting me straight on the correct years and engine sizes.
I've been reading the forum on the crank drilling requirements. Hope to avoid removing the crank for now and try the "adaptor bearing or bushing" for a year or two. Using a recessed "cavity" for the input shaft tip.
Thanks! Dave
