307 swap!!!!!help!!!

Posted By: mbloodfeast On: 06-28-2009 @ 04:52:03         Reply | Edit
ok so my shitty 305 took a crap. either way my buddy had a built 307 he had and now im swappin it in. everything looks like it should fit ok exept my flywheel... my car is a 5 speed. what can i do? the 307 is out of a 68 nova and i am on a budget. could i possibly drill new holes in the flywheel to match the crank? i could imagine my flywheel cracking if i do that but would it work? if not, what flywheel should i get where i could still use my starter and clutch and pressure plate.. or just the cheapest way to do this?

Get a flywheel from a 82-85 5 spd Fbody

You left out the info, but since the bolt pattern is off it sounds like you have a 1 piece rear main setup. Do NOT redrill the holes for a flywheel. Bad things will happen

will that flywheel still have the 10.4 in clutch? and will my pressure plate bolt up to it?

It should, I dont recall any differences. I know the WC and non WC trans swaps with no issues thru the years and engines. The input shaft remains 28 spline for all V8's. Bellhousing is identical

I see no reason why it wouldnt work

Pickup trucks I think. I cant remember

If they have the same number of starter teeth and similar diameter then they should be good

Go to a parts store and pull up a clutch disk from both and compare
