Trying to find if Plymouth made different weight flywheels for 218 engines

Can't answer that question, but you might get a clue by digging in the parts books.  Look at the P/N for all those with the same flywheel ring gear, clutch size and bolt pattern.  Any difference would be weight.  I suspect that trucks and industrials will have heavier flywheels.

 

I know that back in the day, everyone running dirt tracks cut the 'wheels to get snappier acceleration out of the corners.
