Flywheel for 427
I'm swapping out a SB 406 with a 427 and can't use the flywheel. Any recommendations? Best weight, etc? Not interested in aluminum. This will be for the street only. What was stock...cast, steel? Tnx!
Also, is it best to leave the fuel pump and stock exhaust off for the install?

14 lbs is pretty light. Aren't there any problems with that for street use, like smooth shifting? I would think for road racing the quick decel/accel would be a plus, but is it going to be tiring for just normal cruising?
