Aluminum Flywheel with Mcleod Street Twin?

[ringmaster72]

That is pretty much what I was thinking. Unless somebody came out and said they had one and it was awful on the street, I was going to give it a try. I went ahead and bought the aluminum fw one yesterday. It was on Mcleod's ebay store and was $1125. The cheapest I could find a new steel one was almost $1400.

The Wilwood 13/64" MC it comes with is a nice piece. I got my steel kit from JEGS for $12xx last year. The $1125 is a good deal

pay close attention to the shims on each stand as they need to go back EXACTLY when you install the clutch

Gotcha on the shims, but what did you do for balancing? For a stock bottom end LT1, the flywheel is weighted. Did you buy the Mcleod weights for their flywheel?

McLeod offers both neutral (for internal balanced motors) and stock (with counterweight) for external balanced motors. Different part #'s

In reality they are the same FW as the weight is just screwed on. I ordered the neutral balanced one as my engine is internally balanced and it came without the weight but has the 4 threaded holes the weight would screw onto. For me the problem was that with the 4 holes taped for the weight my FW was 25 grms out of balance exactly where the 4 hole were. Machine shop had to add 3 screws/washers to compensate
