usually on the back side of the flywheel and it looks like a countersunk hole made by a drillbit

correct way is to remove weight from crankshaft so if the flywheel ever goes south on you.. you can go to the store and get a new one without having it rebalanced and hope it comes in close to original

It can be balanced from 0-28-50 oz.

Check with the builder.

A Spec 2 is not going to put up with the abuse of a decent 347, nitrous set-up.

I would be looking into a custom clutch set-up personally, if you can swing it.

The Spec Stage 2 WILL handle 520 ft.lbs. of tq, which is plenty for a 347.




As for the T-5, you better have some serious hopes and dreams if you want that to last.

Yep, I had a KC clutch as well.

Good Luck when you go to replace it soon.

Just a matter of time...

1 month to 1 year is my bet.

A decent 347 with a 100 shot is going to put down more than "520 rwtq."

Just something to keep in mind...

i have a heavy foot and i have a KC stage 2 clutch just took the engine apart and inspected the clutch, with all the abuse it still looks amazing. i have a aluminum flywheel, the car revs like a bike. its great. I would recommend the aluminum 28oz.
