Re: Lightening the Flywheel on a 327

It's always a tradeoff. A lighter flywheel will accelerate more rapidly. However, as a percentage of the total rotating/reciprocating mass of a Packard Eight, it will be a slight improvement.

When lightening, take off as much as is safe from the outer edge and taper toward the center. The mass from the ring gear to where the pressure plate bolts is your target area.
