Thanks for the advice. You have brought up a couple of more questions though.
If I go the V8 nodular flywheel route is there any specific year range or motor that would have the FW I need? How will this affect my clutch linkage. Throwout bearing, fork, etc.
You mentioned vibration with the 302 shaking things apart. The motor was rebuilt with a Kantor kit so I assume it has aluminum pistons. if they are any help. I had to replace the heavy 302 2-groove pulley/balancer with the 228 pulley because of clearance problems. Will this cause balancing or vibration problems. I could probably use the heavy 302 pulley if I used a flex fan instead of the stock fan if you think it would be better.
Thanks again
