I'm in the process of upgrading to a B/W T5 five speed in my 50 GMC with a 238, I need to replace the 4 bolt flywheel, anyone know where I can find a good one? Appreciate any help I can get as mine is shot.
Thanks

What's shot on yours? Surface or ring gear?

The surface, I had a machine shop look at it, said its to thin. The springs on the clutch disk have worn off a good portion of the bolts holding the flywheel to the crank.

Ok, that calls for a replacement then. There are a few guys on here who sell parts that may have one or a line on one.
