Default Is this a 28 oz flywheel?

Please help me identify this flywheel.... It's supposed to ba a McLeod Aluminum flywheel for a SBF with 28oz counter balance... It does have 157 teeth on the ring gear.

McLeod has been zero help... maybe someone over here can help me out...

Oh yea, almost forgot... I removed and weighed the counter balance weight. It was 6.2 oz on a digital postal scale... but remember, it's out on the perimeter of the flywheel...

Your opinions please...

im no expert but the clutch mounting hole do not look right for a sbf to me but if it fit the crank you can have it matched to fit any clutch, and any machine shop shuold be able to identify it and surface it.

Yeah take it to a tranny shop.I would hate to tell you one thing and be mistaken and you ruin your motor.

To be sure go to a tranny shop and have them check it out.

Well, here's the verdict... two separate sources have identified the flywheel as a 28oz version (which it was supposed to be all along, but with no part numbers... well, y'all get the picture)... so I feel better about installing it now... the folks at McLeod were NO help at all... I'm very appreciative of all the input I've received elsewhere...

Thanks
