460 flywheel questions. please help.

I have a 1979 466 that I am building. I am thinking of using a 4 or 5 speed behind it. I need to know if a standard transmission flywheel from a 1985 truck will fit a 351m/400 bellhousing or if the Lakewood bellhousing for a 460 will work. The problem is the 79 460 balance. I have to use a 79 or later flywheel. Does anyone know if this will work before I buy this stuff?

i wish i could tell you it would "for sure" fit but i have'nt done it before.i think a 351/400 bell should work with it,a 351/400 c4 bell will go on where a c6 came from.i'm sure somebody can tell us sorry i'm not much help.

I have seen some of the 351m bellhousing on the 460's make the trans pilot bind so you have to run 2 backing plates for the extra clearance....


hope this helps

Thanks. I think I will buy the lakewood bellhousing and the 85 flywheel and see if it works. I am thinking that the flywheel will work but I may have to have the flywheel redrilled for an 11 inch clutch. I am betting the 12 inch clutch that the later 460's run wont clear the bellhousing. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.
