Anyone know how much a stock 5.0 flywheel weighs, or do you have one laying around that you could throw on a scale? I'm trying to compare stock vs. steel vs. aluminum. I thought billet steel was lighter then cast iron, but I'm not so sure now. If the steel flywheel is gonna be heavier then what I have now, then I'm going aluminum for sure... I think steel is around 25lb, iron is 21lb or so, and alum is 13?

Theres a big debate on this on here, 5spd gt had wrote out a good explanation on the pro's and con's of all 3. It should still be on the first page.

Not to hijack but do billet steel flywheels come in different wieghts (ex.32oz. or 50oz. ) and whats the difference between internal balance and external balance?

Anyone else? and is there a way to tell what oz. weight flywheel i have. I have a Billet steel flywheel with a weight on the back held in by a allen bolt, i dont see any markings on it?

ok thanks Mike, what does a normal 302/306 take a 28oz. or a 50oz.? What would happen if you put a 50oz. flywheel on an engine that takes a 32oz. or vice versa? I got my billet steel flywheel off a 308? (.040 over) could this possibly be wrong for my 306? Neither of them are a stroker.
