Lightened flywheel

Post by bobmay1 »

Just picked up my lightened flywheel assembly from south bend clutch. What a fantastic job. Lightened to 42 lbs, drilled and tapped for V-8 clutch, and balanced it for 150.00. Pressure plate brand new was 80.00 with a new ring gear at 23.00. This was way cheaper than any supply house and I saved on shipping heavy flywheel both ways. My short block is ready to be put together with new insert bearings and modern seals. Bigger SS intake valves and Snyder 6.1 head should give me 50 HP.ImageImage
