My 2.4 Six Engine, Manufacturing prototype intake adapters. Options

[McMark]

I picked up this 2.4 six awhile back and I'm gonna use this thread as I develop the engine which will eventually go in my gold car.

I'm starting a little out of order, but too bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

So I have this aluminum flywheel. No manufacturer stamps or numbers on it whatsoever. I'm thinking that it might be too light for a street car, so I may not use it. It's about 3lbs by itself. I've got a 914 clutch adapter (basically a cut down 914/4 flywheel that bolts to the outer edge) and that brings the total flywheel weight to about 10lbs.

I want a streetable car, is this thing too light?

An Idea to Part in hours and not days,the response time of
CadCam system Integration in Manufacturing Systems.
You too can have your very own Protype shop in your garage.
Just like the Mechanix Illustrated BluePrints of the 60's.
Time to fire up your

....anything you can dream up.
the Future is Here Now.
Try the Rhino4 or 5 Cad.
Synergy by Weber is a cost effective Cam.
EMC2 is an OpenSource Machine Control System.
There is a lot of competition in the machining industry for large
systems.50K is likely beyond the pricepoint for the home user.
You have to look around and test,then make the decision that suits you
best for the most you wish to spend.There is a fellow here doing a custom
oil scavenge pan for his V8 conversion,inhouse or subcontracted?
It is possible to do it inexpensively,however,the labour intensity rises
accordingly.
A good example of the technology available today.
