Im trying to mate a T56 to a 454.The problem is I cant find a flywheel that will work.Centerforce said that I have to get a neutral balance flywheel for an SBC and balance it with the crank/balancer.THe motor is already finished though..Anything I can do aside from having to redo the motor?

If it's a regular factory 454 it will be externally balanced so no internally balanced flywheel is going to provide the correct balance for your application. The type of transmission shouldn't change the flywheel used as only the "engine" used determines which "flywheel" as well as which "harmonic balancer" you need. The input of the tranny rides in a bronze sleeve, (or a roller bearing), in the center of the flywheel and with the appx. inner diameter of the outside of the trans. input shaft in the area ahead of the splined part of that input. As long as the "depth" from the face of the transmission to the face of the bronze bushing, (or roller bearing), is the same as the length of the trans. input shaft, the type flywheel shouldn't matter. Most aftermarket 168 tooth flywheels are drilled for both 10 1/2" an 11" clutches so that shouldn't be a problem either. I'm assuming you are going to use a scattershield and you can test fit it and measure to the face of the flywheel to make sure it is the same distance as the length of the T-56 input shaft. If additional problems arise you might give Keisler a call. I think transmission tunnel clearance might be a problem too. This company can answer any additional swap problems as this is what they do.
