Let me put it this way top you , the last thing you want to do is use the STOCK flywheel and the STOCK clutch . Can we say handgernade , If you have never seen a flywheel or a clutch explode and the force it unleashes then son you ain't seen nothing . Many years ago i personally had a BLOW PROFF clutch come apart and at the time i had the best blow proff bell housing and when this SHIEFFER (SP) CAME APART it went thru the scatter shield , it removed the master cylinder off the fire wall it made big holes in the hood it sliced thru the steering coelom like a hot knife thru butter , made BIG holes in the pavement and what bounded back up off the road made huge dents in the rear floor boards . A person i know was messing with his old M M pulling tractor next to his house and was trying to get it to twist more RPM's like double factory when she came apart sending shell we say Spare pieces and parts thru the BBRICK siding thru the first wall thru the second wal thru the third wall and thru the forth way and inbedding it's self in the fifth wall of the house . I was at qa tractor pull many years back in Wosster Ohio when a guy with with a W 9 with two 430 linclon engines broke the rear off the crank on the first engine and the nose off the crank of the second engine sending the flywheel thru the 1/4 inch home made cover airborne up thru the stands luckly above the heads of all out over top the grand stands down into the parking lot thru one cars windshield and roof and stopping in the second . Those of flywheels have heat and stress cracks running deep and are a BOMB waiting to go off . Back in my lets go FAST days of engine building while working for a large Ford Dealer and taking care of the drag cars i got to do a lot of shell we say engine testing and the making of spare pieces and parts. while standing on the outside of thick bullet proof glass and thick concrete walls that showed the end results of when things said yuck yucko and lots of steam and oil got spilled and new markings went into the walls when things did not go as planned . So before you go telling someone how to do this and that when you have never done this or that lets take a little time to THINK before you tell someone how to . I don't have a problem with him wanting to do it but when i tell sopmeone something i want them and people around them to be safe, Life is way to short to start with . I told him on how i would go about it and what i would use for a flywheel and a clutch and you make a flywheel out of 4340 SMAE approved stock not the cast iron flywheel . Then ya need to balance it , now not being a Chebby guy i don't know if the 454 is and internal or external balanced engine so that has to be addressed then you have to address the input issue as the four bolts two on the output and the two on the input need to have something done . There is a ton of work involved with any swap and even more when your going off bread . Been playen this game sine 1962 and still learning and school is in session every stinking day.
Oh yea and one more point to make here a week after i sent my clutch to lunch and putting my fancy car out into a hay field when the clutch let go Rollo the rich kid with his brand new daddy bought me Corvette was empressing the ladys at a local beech and while doing a power speed shift his clutch blew and flywheel came off the back of that 327 300 Hp and came thru and removed BOTH his feet along with other injurys and darn near died from blood loss.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
