great reason to use an sfi flywheel

[Rodeheaver's]

i follow the work these guys do a little and they were on their way to dyno an engine they were building when they realized the left the flywheel at home, so instead of calling it a day, they decided to use a good stock flywheel they had laying in the shop and the rest is in the video. look at the pics in the upper right hand side...

wow thats sick

Didn't sound like it was revving to the moon, but I wonder what rpm it was at when it let go?????

Dang - that is scary.

The more I think about it, the less I want to really push my '66 until I upgrade my axles ( stock Lincoln 28 spline ), flywheel ( stock '85 GT ), and install a blowproof bellhousing... It sure is fun to drive as it sits, but I worry about catastrophic failure more these days than I used to...

And when I fire up an episode of Pinks All Out, I seem to remember the bad runs ( blown engines, busted axles, torn driveshafts, mid-track wipeouts ) more than the good ones.

Part of getting old, I guess...

Expensive mistake!

It made 755/700 with some restrictive dyno headers on pump gas and a mild hydraulic roller. Gotta love BBF's. But then again.....that's an expensive piece for a street car. I would say 16k+.

wow..

Danggg, that's tuff!!

16,000 then you can start buyin parts to put the short block together!!

hot rod just put together a "fake"429 with the new john kaase repro retrofit parts my rough math put that build at 25,000,,,a motor adds up fast when just the valve covers cost 1500$ not to mention the 2000$ accessory drive on the motor in the vid!!
