you have to use a t56 flywheel. there is only one. call centerforce or summit. mine (with special order old style crank bolt pattern was a little over 300. you can find one in a junkyard if you bump into a miracle. your clutch will have the throwout bearing built in if its younger that 96 and will also run about 300. there is no way around this one unless you by some chance find one in a junkyard, but you don't want a uses clutch and you won't find one anyway.

it sounds harder, but how much would something like that cost and what are the chances of the bolt holes being a little off and unballanced? my flywheel from centerforce was about $300. and i thought that was high until i found out that the lt1 fly was about the same $ new.

with a good machine shop,no problems,don't remember what I paid for the used flywheel,100.00? to have bthe holes redone was 60.00 Icut the excess weight off myself on a brakelathe,had it balanced at an engine shop,40.00 resurficedfor30.00 not much difference if you have to buy a flywheel
