If i ever convert to an internal 7x trigger i'll probably get one, right now my trigger wheel is bolted to the stock balancer.'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11

gotta be RWD only, the FWD balancer is also the pulley. You should be ok if the wheel is welded to the pulley.
you may want to check this thread out, he used one. http://60degreev6.com/forum/showthre...fters-with-2-8

they're easy enough to swap with the engine in the car anyways.."I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man. I have broken with society for reasons which I alone am able to appreciate.

Finally got around to putting my braided hoses together:
Fuel hoses; return line comes from the schrader valve for now to the FPR
Oil drain
Oil feed from beside oil filter
And picked up a turbosmart boost controller for $20. I'll probably upgrade to an EBC later.
Hopefully I'll finish up the engine part of the wiring over the weekend.'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11

SFI bellhousing arrived today. Very beefy and heavy
Backing plate seems to be about the same thickness as the adapter plate. Since it won't fit behind the flywheel AND over the adapter plate, the plan is to copy the adapter plate bolt holes onto the backing plate, then ditch the adapter plate. The backing plate will also need a hole drilled for the starter but I don't know yet if I'll need to clearance much of the bellhousing for the starter. IIRC it will fit a 168-tooth flywheel which I think is larger than the LT1 stock flywheel. If the bellhousing has a larger diameter inside than the stock one, I shouldn't need to clearance it much for the starter.
Unfortunately, I probably won't have time to work on it at all until next Wednesday. I did get a bunch of wiring done over the weekend though.'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11
