You will definately have the experience that Jon is speaking of. That 235 needs inertia to get going. Aluminum flywheel is fine for a round track motor because once you are in the rpm range, you generally stay in that general range so you dont necesarily need the inertia. But a street driven car, you need some weight to get you parambulating. Clifford use to sell a really nice steel flywheel. McLeod made them for him. I have one on one of my motors. Purchased it probably in 85 or so. Clifford no longer sells them. A couple of years ago I spoke to McLeod they told me they still have the blueprints for making them but cost would be very high. If I remember correctly they speculated in the 700-800 range. So that is not really an option. So I think you are stuck figuring out what year motor you have, getting a stock cast iron flywheel, facing the pressure surface, flipping the ring grear around, balancing the flywheel with the pressure plate, and then the harder part, finding top dead center and confirming whether the bb on the flywheel and pointer on the bellhousing lines up, or whether you need to remark the flywheel for TDC.
