392/345 flywheel interchange???



Hi all,

I'm still pondering the 392 swap so my Traveler can pull my
6500 lb camping trailer.  Does the flywheel from a 345 fit
the 392?  My Scout parts manual only calls out one flywheel
for 304/305 (as well as one crank balancer for auto and
standard engines), but I don't have any reference for the
392.  The 196 calls for a different flywheel than the
345/304.  ...same gear ring and bolts, but different
flywheel.

Here's my plan:
1) get some cash
2) chuck the 727 in favor of a T-19 wide
3) drive the 345/T-19 for awhile while I get some more cash
4) get a 392 short block
5) install 345 heads...maybe...  with 345 intake, air pump,
and EGR.
6) yank 345, install 392 with 345 flywheel
7) fuel injection/computer spark management
8) happily tow my trailer
