Lightened Model A Flywheel Trying to figure out how much weight to take off a Model A flywheel for my TROG race car. Car will be run in side by side 1/8 mile beach drag races only. Motor will be around 75-85 HP with a B trans case with late model gears. going to run a 9" clutch, 4.11 rear gears. Would like to make the flywheel as light as is safe and one that will hold up.
Link to an article on the Model A Ford Garage, shows both flywheels and the lightened one. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/flywheels.htm
Model A Gomez -- Hotroddmyk ---------- Thanks for the information & drawing. After reading the flywheel site maybe I need to ask my question a little different. What would be the best flywheel weight for max acceleration? De-celeration not a facture. I'm hoping 27-35 # is do able.
