Hot Rods My new 57 Chevy 210bu

I have a 383 small block with a one-piece rear main seal on order. I will be mating it up to a stock bellhousing configuration. I need to order a flywheel and clutch and not sure what fits. I know I need a flywheel for a one-piece rear main seal but 168 or 153 tooth. And do I need a 10 1/2-inch clutch?
It has been to many years since I have worked on a tri 5 and with the cost of these parts, I need to order the right stuff.

What's a 210bu?

 

JUST 210 TYPING MISTAKE,

 

168 tooth flywheel and 11" clutch fits the factory bellhousing.

 

Are you going to post a pic of it?

 

Kind of like a Henway but different.

 

I'm the wrong guy to ask about flywheel tooth counts but I would also like to see the car.

 

Verify internal or external balance requirements before ordering any flywheel. Maybe you already knew that…

 

168 tooth , one piece rear seal engines use an external balance flywheel . Aftermarket flywheels are usually drilled for both 10 1/2 or 11 inch pressure plates

 

It had been restored just before I bought it and is totally rust free. I pulled the stock 283 and powerglide and will be installing a Blueprint 383 roller and M21 muncie 4 speed.
The last 57 I had was about 1978, so I'm having fun doing it up right this time

also, has dropped spindles and front springs and 1-inch lowering blocks in rear. I added steel 15x7 front wheels and 15x8s in the rear and TA radials. And the beat goes on.

 

Looks like a nice car!

 

Just make sure you get ALL of the specific to '57 clutch linkage. '55&6 are close but off just enough to cause problems.

 

Now, that's my style of 57 Chebby. And I might even get to see it one of these days when we cross paths.

 

My that is pretty

 

Nice.
