I want to clarify what I said about no other flywheels fitting a 6.2 diesel. Actually, flywheels from several gas-engines will fit - but are still not correct - this includes small and big block chevy engines. I've got piles of OEM GM tech manuals but I've yet to find specific info on 6.2 diesel engine balancing.
I don't know what year your 350 is - but a 1985 350 gas flywheel and clutch will physically fit the 6.2.
As far as I can tell - the 6.2 diesel requires some external balancing via the flywheel mass - whereas most small and big block gas engines do not. The end-of-crank flange and bolt pattern though is the same for many gas and diesel engines that use the two-piece rear-main-seal. 6.2 diesels changed over to a one-piece around 1992.
So - from anything I've read over the years - to be right you need a flywheel made for the 6.2 diesel and nothing else should be used even if it fits. The clutches from gas engines are not a problem, but the 6.2 is supposed to have a 12" clutch. Many gas engines use smaller clutches - which also might have something to do with the flywheel differences. GM #3991469 gas flywheel fits many SM and BB engines from 1955 - 1985 but will not take a 12" clutch.
As I said earlier, there are lot of used OEM flywheels around. Also, places like Partsamerica sell new 6.2 diesel flywheels from Pioneer - # 502710.
Oddly - Centerforce sells new racing-flywheels that are listed to fit 1969 small-block Chevys and also 1984 3/4 ton Chevy 6.2 diesel trucks. I have no idea what that is all about.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
