Not Ranked
Jerry and Brent: Thanks for the input! The present cast wheel has been balanced to the crank when the eng was built, and again when I re-built it. I talked to the shop that last did it, and they said they didn't make any changes to the balance. They also said that in their experience (30+ yrs), that trying to match balance to another wheel would be close , but not good enough. Checked with another mach shop (oldest in Sarasota, hot rodders from the 50's) and they basically said the same thing. I have a couple more shops to check, but if I have to pull the crank, I'll do it, rather than risk it not being right. The engine is not done, it's on the stand, and I may be pulling heads for port matching. My main concern was if the stock wheel was up to the task or not.
Brent: are the aluminum f/w friction plates available as a replacement part? My clutch is approx 11.75" dia. .
Thanks,
Ted
