greg g Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I needed to have mine refaced to get under some hot spot areas. So it was lightened and rebalanced in the process ess. If I recall about three ounds came off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN EDGE Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I’m looking for the factory weight of a 218 flywheel out of a 1952 Plymouth thanks for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I could go out to the shop and weigh one but guessing is easier.....30lbs. What's the 'real' question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN EDGE Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Trying to find if Plymouth made different weight flywheels for 218 engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
