I am building a 302 set up with a single plane manifold, and ported 2.02/1.60 valve 351 heads, simply because I have the parts already. Cam is healthy and more top end oriented
3.31 rear end, 2.94 1st gear T5(Z) on 15" wheels, so a relatively low first gear
5th gear is .80 for a close ratio box
A new billet steel flywheel is on the shopping list and I am pondering flywheel weight. The current choice is 25 lbs VS 17.3 lbs so quite a difference.
I am not sure if the light flywheel be too light for street use with my gearing, and engine set up?
I see the advantage of a light flywheel on a road track. Anyone running a lightened flywheel on the street?
