Re: Lightened Flywheel
Changing the weight of the flywheel will have the effect of raising the natural frequency of the engine and drive train. This may or may not be a good thing and will change what is called the "torsional response" of the system. You may have lucked out....but. I would suggest that Henry and Edsel knew what they were doing on the design for the most part. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I would not have the courage to lighten the wheel or change from FORD spec. I do not mean to alarm you but rather to inform.
