Thank you Chuck. I looked at those parts, and I definitely like the prices! I was thinking of going with Hays billet steel flywheel and the Hays centerforce dual friction clutch setup, but that's getting real pricey!

Was the original GM flywheel on your L78 steel or nodular iron? Whatever was stock spec in the L78 is fine with me, as my original L78 Chevelle was perfect...never had any issues and I raced it on occasion.

This car won't be raced, but I want it to be the real deal engine-wise! I am estimating, with headers to be in the 450HP+ range.
