What bellhousing you going to?I take it, it is a steel scattershield type? I am going to run the old girl with the turbo 400 with a stage 2 shift kit an a B&M pro ratchet shifter and see how it does.I have been leaning towards converting to an M22 but I want to see how the auto works with the 350 first.If I don't get what I want with the auto then when I put in the big block 454 I will spend the extra money and go to the M22.

I'm goin' with a stock aluminum bell, I'm buildin' a road cruiser, not a drag star.
Besides, I'll only be runnin' a little over 400 hp., backed by a 3 sp stick w/OD.
I'm goin' for a "look" and "flat out" performance, a long range bomber, if you will!
A 1/4 mile just isn't long enough, I wanna run for miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and.........

RE: Flywheel, external or intenral balance
The best I can do for ya, is a forged steel crank, not cast.
As far as the balance......
.......I really don't know which would be best.
I'm still learnin' big blocks. From what I hear, most people are goin' with the external balance. My 454 is out of a 1 1/2 ton truck, and came externally balanced. Concidering the torque involved, I'm guessin' that the external is the way to go, after all, GM ain't wrong very often. (with their engines anyway)
