Update. Finally got the sucker on the road.
The Camaro flywheel won't work, the OEM clutch won't fit the flywheel, the disk/hub won't fit the center of the flywheel. I found a cluch that would fit, but I wanted to stick as close to OE as possible. And, like nfw1050, it places that flywheel for the short crank engine.
NFW 1050 fits, but the starter will not spin the engine. It's designed for short crank engines, so the ring gear won't align right. Couldn't find anything else to use, other than $350 flywheels, so my original one was checked and resurfaced for $40.
Also rebuilt the transmission. Replaced gear synchro and ended up replacing all the main bearings. Found some bad teeth on the synchro sliders as well, so the transmission shop that did the Flywheel found me some good used parts. The input shaft bearing was also collapsed. The plastic cage was melted and the input shaft had started turning blue.
Also, this is a long crank engine. 4.8 V8 if anyone was curious. No thanks greatest picture, but if anyone knows GM rear flange, they can see that's it's longer.
