Re: 400 in the 68 Chevy

You do not need that billet flywheel. Why not get the flywheel in the link in post #14? Or if you were to get your rotating assembly balanced, a standard flywheel can be balanced for the engine. If you already have a standard flywheel, you could get the whole assembly balanced for not much more than buying a new externally balanced flywheel.

Not that long ago, I could get a standard flywheel balanced for either a 400 or 454 for $50.00. Unfortunately that machinist retired.

and maybe this flywheel?

and having the rotating assembly ballanced all together. would that work? would i need anything else for the vibration factor?
thanks again for the replies, its really helping.
