Ok here goes, I am building a 85 k10, I have a nv3500 out of a 2001 1500 and am mating it to a 1977 350sbc. Bell housing bolts up fine but I need help with the clutch/flywheel setup I need. The trans came with a new clutch but I’m lacking a flywheel, if I can use the clutch from the 2001 I will but if I need to buy a new setup all is good. Squarebody passion is not cheap but so worth it!!!!! Been looking/asking for advice in my circle but not gettin clear answers. Any help is appreciated thanx

The NV3500 was used behind the older small blocks as well. I think you only need the flywheel for the 2-piece small block crank and you should be good to go.

@bluex runs one in his truck. But I don't remember what year the trans is.

Use the flywheel to match your engine. The clutch disc an pressure plate needs to match the trans.

How did you handle the clutch master cylinder install?
