Im switching to Chevy 350 and Muncie in my 67 Firebird. I removed the 230 Sprint 6 and Saginaw 4 speed . I need any help converting to Chevy. I have a 74 or so Nova, Camaro small bellhousing and have been looking for the right flywheel . The 11 inch wont fit so I found the smaller one but it is on a Chevy 230 six ; will the six flywheel work on the 350 Chevy? Does anyone know if the cross shaft that came on the Pontiac six will work on the Chevy bellhousing and 350 or will I need another shaft to hook the clutch pedal etc. Any help on this switch is appreciated. Ps also will a clutch arm that holds the bearing off of a Chevy truck work? It is curved like a Camaro not straight like most trucks but it is heavy duty.

The six (straight six) flywheel is the same 153 tooth that's used on 302,305,327 and 350 engines and will bolt on. The other parts you mention may work depending on how much fabrication you want to do. In the sixties there were a lot of interchangeable parts on these cars. Unless there is someone out there that has done the same swap as you are doing using the same type of donor car, you're on your own with this one. Check the web out further for swap parts lists. I've seen some that were pretty good explaining interchangeability between all the early Chevys.
