www.sdpc2000.com they have a selection of aftermarket and GM
lite weight internally and externally balanced nodular iron (15lbs.) flywheels (tested to 10,000 rpm). I've been using one for many years with great results. Hope this helps

Yeah, I really like my 15 lb. nodular iron GM flywheel, cost about $140 from Scoggin-Dickey, same as on DZ302 and other factory high performance small blocks--but it's for internally balanced two piece mainseal engines. For an externally balanced and/or one piece mainseal motor you're going to pay at least twice as much--but it gives the car a much quicker response that you can really feel.

I paid $75 for that one from a junkyard. It came off an '86 Vette. It was in great shape too.
