What flywheel?

Gathering parts to get my car back together.

I'm building a mild 350 TPI engine. Will be backed by a rebuilt WC T-5.

This will be a daily driver, not a race car.

Looking at flywheels, I see a few options.

One Stock replacement lists at 25 lbs.

Another list at 37lbs.

I saw one in the classifieds list a 'factory lightweight' version as well.

Any suggestions?

Car will have 3.23 gears, and is a little lighter then stock, no ac, 'glass hood, etc..

My Vette came with the 16 lb unit stock (1 pce RMS #14088646 ) and it drove fine with the 3.07 rear

Review of the identical 2 pce 16 lb unit (# 14085720 )

Re: What flywheel?

The stock 16lb replacement (for a 1985 if you're running an antique 2pc rear main seal) is the way to go. Hugely available from any parts house.
