I use to run a 11 pound aluminum flywheel in my 4000 lb 68 Impala 396/325. All the "experts" told me I needed to run a 30 lb flywheel to get that Chevy moving. Never had a problem with light flywheel. Car never bogged, left pretty hard. The "experts" most of the time were guys who ran Automatics.
I also use rifle drilled axles, star flange too, same rear in my 65 Impala now. I felt for the little extra wht not. Just my 2 cents.
