    pontiac v/8 flywheel bolts up. You need to machine the end of the crank for a pilot bushing.
    I have heard of some people making a custom adapter to run a chevy pilot bushing.
    Good luck

    I'm thinking that a '79 was equipped with a 425 but could be wrong on that. Anyway, I have a flywheel for a 472 (also works on a 425) send me a PM.

    Maximum Torque .com deals only with Caddy stuff. 79 I think would be 425 not 472

    Maximum torque specialties has the stuff you need,no need to machine the crank either,they have a bushing that fits in the end of the crank with just a clearance hole that needs to be drilled in the crank with a hand drill.
    I had a 500 caddy in my 94 chevy crewcab for a while with a NV4500 5 speed behind it.
    Was alot of fun to drive,the truck now has a ***mins 6bt in it.

    the 472 was from 68 to 74 if I remember right. so maybe look for one in those years.

    yeah, as I remember it the last 500 was in 76, and I'm pretty sure the last 472 was in the early 70's.
