So centerforce clutch says this will fit theb301 bit I have my doubts.
I thought they were totally different. Anyone know anything about this?

How can fit the chevy 350, the pontiac 400 and the pontiac 301???
Check the the fitment chart.

Does anyone have thoughts about these flywheels?

I think I found one. I sent this place an email and I will call them tomorrow to verify they do in fact stock one and make sure it is really for the 301 externally balanced engine.
I'm posting all this just in case someone in the future is looking for one.

Update. No they no longer make them, even though they are listed instock on their website.... :-(
This is really starting to get difficult.

Ok, so there are no flywheels for the 301 unless it is an original from a 1979 301 4 speed car or it was an altered billet aftermarket one. I am having TTA performance make one for me. Unfortunately it will cost more than the $475 they have it listed for.... it has been some years since he has had to have one made.... Wheel see how this goes. It will be an adventure for sure.

Might be too late but have you tried Franks Pontiac Parts? Also I have a number for a guy in Canada that has hundreds of firebirds in his junk yard. I would have to dig the info out if you need it. Good Luck.

The guy who runs this used to be very active with 301 garage. He has made working on the turbo 301's a full time business and seems to have a lot of knowledge. His business is not far from where I live, I hope to meet him some day. He also has a fair number of interesting videos.

I did try Frank's. Joe at TTA seems to really know his stuff. We talked for quite a while. He is getting ready to go to the Nats as he has a booth there. Too bad he couldn't get the flywheel in and modified by then or I could go pick it up.
Glad to see you saw this Larry. Your engine will be propelling a Firebird again, hopefully soon via a 4 speed.
