I used one of those once, it not only had the ring gear teeth off enough I had to shim the starter so it could disengage, after 1500 miles it looked like a worn out brake rotor.POS http://americanpowertrain.com/i-8426648-...al-balance.html Buyer beware though, it states "SFI Quality" not SFI Approved. A McLeod is probably $50-75 more and is SFI Approved FWIW. Last edited by 72Swinger; 05/13/14 11:38 PM. Mopar to the bone!!!

A flywheel isn't a sophisticated device..I doubt that a billet flywheel will wear that quickly.. The 440source flywheels look like exact copies of the McLeod wheels..

I also bet that they make the flywheels for 440Source. The absolute cheapest 10.5" 130 tooth flywheel is sitting on a 318 at the junkyard. R.

I really dont think the flywheel they sell is Billet. I sold the pressure plate from that setup and it was in near perfect as new condition. Mopar to the bone!!!

I really dont think the flywheel they sell is Billet. I sold the pressure plate from that setup and it was in near perfect as new condition. That's interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe they changed the flywheel because when they first came out they were only $99, then $149 and now $199. 440source clearly state on their website that the flywheels are billet CNC ground steel wheels.. I don't think that they would blatantly lie about their product. Too much risk to get sued..

Has part number FW-1900 on the engine side. I bought it to use on a '73 400 so I'm hoping the balance is right

Even if it was machined from a 1" thick plate it would still be billet. I guess could be cast, but why? It'd still have to be machined, would probably cost about the same..... A couple of years ago when AndyF first started talking about PRW billet wheels he too mentioned a price of $100. They don't cost that anymore. I have a feeling the "introductory price" was to get the market opened up, now the y are making some money on the wheels. BTW, that's the American way, not a bad thing. R.
