I got a 80 510 wagon with a stuck Z20 motor and auto tranny. Ive got a L20B that runs good that i can use in it. I need to know if i can use the flywheel off a Z20 on a L20B? I plan on keeping the auto since it going to be my work car.

I would imagine so, L20B's have a 6 bolt flywheel.I THINK that Z20's do aswell.otherwise Z and L block's are almost identical to each other

Your motor or trany might be crooked. Z20s and L20s are desighned to lean diferently in the engine bay because of the intake being on diferent sides. The trany will bolt on but it might be crooked. you might be able to make it work though.
