Didn't say it was made for it Pat, just that it would work. I put the 400 sbc in a 62 1/2 ton in the mid 80's and at time the only thing that would work was a flywheel from a 454. I had a 3100 lb pressure plate made for it and the best clutch disc I could find and put a 3 speed behind it and I never had a problem except for rear ends. I'll try to get out in the garage this weekend and dig the flywheel out so I can get the numbers from it and post them on this thread. BTW, I got the info from a hobby stock dirt track racer that learned the hard way that a flywheel from a 350 would not work behind a 400.
